Default Tires chirp after lift

Just put my lift on and I notice my tires chirping when I take corners and when I hit a little bump at speed. Is this cuz it still needs to be aligned? Thanks

Definitely could be alignment issues.

What type of tires are they and how much tread is left? Surface wet at all? U should get an alignment with in the first 300-500 miles of installing a lift, the sooner the better. my old tires would chirp if there was low pressure, and the were low tread

I need new tires like fish need water. So maybe that's why they are chirping so much.

Definetly the alignment. I put a 3.5" lift on my Cherokee and suddenly I had "Death Wobble". As soon as I had the alignment done, wobble went away. Get it done.
