Default Wheel alignment

How long do you guys wait to get a wheel alignment with a new lift install. Does it matter

I lifted mine 3 weeks ago and I'm planning on aligning it myself on Friday, but you shouldn't wait that long lol and I would advise learning how to do it yourself instead of paying $80 to get it done every time you mess around with your suspension.

You should definitely do it asap! And I agree, learning to do it yourself will save you a TON of dough. If I had paid for an alignment every time I adjusted or upgraded something... I'd be living in the dog house by now. Having said that, if you don't know how to do and you're not comfortable with learning now, go ahead and pay for one then learn how to do it.

Yes, ASAP. Unless you like buying tires. Luckily at my shop, we have a alignment rack so when the lift is done, it's lined up.

I did mine the same day, But I worked at a shop at that time so I had access to the alignment rack

Definitely get it done right away. As stated above, learning to do it yourself will save you a ton and it's really not hard. I paid for the first alignment I had mine done, then realized how simple it was. $80 every time I wheel mine or upgrade something because my steering wheel is off center is not in my budget.
