Alright, so im new here, just signed up not long ago. My question is, iv'e seen 1 in coil spacers on jcwhitney.com and was wondering if i would need to get my truck's front end realigned after installing those. All i want to do is get my truck's nose up a TINY bit, but am cautious about the whole camber/caster angles being thrown off after putting in some spacers beneath the coils. Also how bad are those going to mess up the agles? can i realign them myself or am i going to have to take it in to a shop? I drive freeway often so i would need things to be setup so as to cause the least to normal tire wear (as my tires are brand new---31x10.5 BFGR A/T)

My truck is a 1996 Mazda B4000 4x4. Thanks in advance.
 
Yes, anything that is done to change the suspension will require that it be realigned. It can be done at home but unless you are very comfortable with your ability to do it, I would recommend that you have a shop take care of it.
 
I heard its not good to take it to les swab or somewhere similar b/c thats not their speciality, is that correct?
