I've noticed that the rear end really squats when weighed down now, front end is pretty stiff, but nothing to be scared of. Some people do get alignments after, I never did and have had no wear problems. Post those pics, sounds pretty cool!

mine drives like a gokart now. hit speed bumps REAL SLOW. mine tops the suspension out if i go to fast over them. tires will actully leave the ground. i have my 2009 cranked all the way and didnt even get 2 inches

Well if you're going to get an alignment done, get it done after you crank the bars.

I only had my truck for a week before I cranked mine, but I really didn't notice a difference in the ride quality. I didn't get an alignment either. The front tires might be wearing a touch faster on the inside, but I'm not too concerned about my stock Wranglers anyway.

I had a new 87 Nissan, after 3 months of driving it around stock, I loosened the t-bars till the front bumper was 8 inches from the ground, it rode like a wooden wheel wagon, the truck was down on the stop bumps, I raised it to bumper height of 11 inches, removed the bump stops, and the front end aligned, and it rode good as ever.

I have never tighten one up so I don't know how it would ride.

i cranked mine a week after my bought this truck and gained two inches from the top of the tire to the top of the wheel well. gave it a real nice stance too. plus, no alignment done and have'nt had any problems with tire wear so far.

I can't really see why you would need an alignment after cranking them. All you are doing is changing the starting point in the suspension cycle. I could understand with TTB but not IFS. I could be missing something though.

By TTB, I mean when adding coil spacers without changing the pivot point.

i took mine all the way after a year. i cant feel any ride difference and i gained 3" and no allignment or issues at all
