Front end allignment after Bilsteins??

Yo Nadz · Feb 7, 2013

Putting a set of Bilstein 5100s on front of my 2013 Ram Sport along with the PA 3" body lift next weekend. Not sure exactly where I'm going to set the Bilsteins since I still wanna be able to fit in the garage. I'm thinking probably one notch from the top.

Two questions
- is a front end alignment necessary after installing the Bilsteins??

- how easy is it to adjust the Bilsteins? Can you do it without pulling the wheels off??

Thanks for the help men.

Need an alignment for sure. Mine was WAY off.The adjustment are done with the strut apart. So you have to take everything apart to adjust. Get it right the first time. It is just as much work to adjust as it is the do the install. Love mine. No regrets, maybe would do 2.1 instead of 2.8, but I don't know. I might want 2.8 if I did 2.1

You have yours at 2.8?? Do you have a pic? Trying to figure out what the rake looks like between 2.1 and 2.8.

yup....alignment is a must, and unfortunately like said above the adjustment is done with the bilsteins off the truck
