Aligned immediately after drop?

[Der2z]

Hey guys doing a belltech 2 4 drop on my truck this weekend and I'm wondering if I take it to the alignment shop as soon as I lower it or do I need to drive it a little and make the springs settle and then have it aligned.

I'll normally wait about 50 miles or so before I get an aliment after suspension changes. That should be plenty of time for everything to settle.

I agree drive it around for a bit. I took mine a week after I did my drop.

Yes sir give it some time for springs to settle. I'll be waiting a week or so before taking mine in as well. Just did my drop today

So do they align good when using springs? Are these Bell springs any higher rate? I am just curious as to wether they improve handling other than the truck being lower.

 

[Dude_57]

As far as improved handling it's a definately yes. It literally feels like a sports car. But you do give up some slight smoothness of the stock suspension which is fine with me cause it feels firmly planted around every corner I take. As for higher rate I'm not sure. And as for aligning I hear they can get it pretty dang close to perfect.

You can eliminate some of that harshness by installing the shorter F-150 front sway bar end links. Here is the "Link" to the thread I posted a while back.
