Hey y’all, I’m about to install Bilsteins at 2.8, Readylift UCA’s, TGC 1” rear spacers, Airlift 1000HD air bags, and 35 11.50 R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 20x10 Ultra Hunter wheels, on my 2018 Ram 1500 4x4. My question is, do I need to wait until I get the new wheels and tires installed to get an alignment or can I go ahead and get it done on the stock wheels and tires without throwing it off after the new rolling stock goes on? This may be a dumb question but I’m not really sure how that works. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It’s recommended to align with your final set up. It’s not going to be far off but those tires are not cheap. I know a few alignment guys that over and under compensate off what the computer calls for because the tires are wider etc.

Wheels and tires wont change the alignment one bit. I always recommend that if you can run stock for the alignment do it. If your shop has to clamp on to the wheel and the arent careful the can scratch after market finishes
