Over the past few weeks Ive been able to swap out my front end from Dana 28 to 35. I also added new inner, outer tie rods, and I went down a size on tires from 35s to 33s. Now when I’m driving it only pulls to the left a little. But it does bounce. I know I need an alignment for sure. But the question that I’m here for an answer for is does my front end swap affect the alignment to where I need it to be looked at by a shop? I’m going to have a front alignment done but to my knowledge and my opinion I don’t think if effects it that much. Don’t hesitate to tell me I’m wrong if I am wrong, and please better explain everything to the best of your ability.

Have a good weekend.

Thanks, OneGoofyGuy.

My credo
Crossed threads are tight threads.
You need a TTB savvy alignment shop. I suggest a dedicated frame/alignment shop, or off road shop that installs lift kits and does alignments on such trucks.

Axle swap will totally effect everything for alignment.
