A lot of guys don't even do an alignment and are fine. I will be doing an alignment myself when I do this but that is just because it's that time anyway, I don't know how long it's been since it had an alignment but I know I haven't done one since I bought it and that's been 1 1/2 years.

Not sure about the tires, but I cant believe that 2" makes such a huge difference.  I was really wanting to get the rancho 3" lift but why pay $1300 for 3" when I can pay $25 for 2" LOL

well it depends...if you want the lift for looks or bigger tires then do it the cheap way.  but if you need more clearance for "off road" purposes or w/e then you need to shove out some dough

Looks great, Ziggy! What did you spend on everything, 25 bones?  Did you end up getting an allignment?  How is the ride now?  Is there a big difference?  Sorry for so many questions.  This is deffinitely my next project, just want to make sure I dont get hit with any surprises. Any advice would be great.  Anyway, great job!

the ride is fine...i cant tell a difference in it.  i ended up giving my buddy a 20 and a 20 pack :p so it cost me about 45-55 bucks.  but if i was able to turn the tbar bolts then it would of cost me 24 dollars

edit: and yes i need an alignment it pulls a little to the left so its got to be like a fraction of a eighth of an inch off :p

Sweet!  Thanks for the info, Ziggy!  I'll let you know how it goes when I do mine.  I should have it done in the next two weeks.
