Will I need to re-align my truck after installation?

Yes. After any suspension change, alignment is necessary to set caster, camber, and toe back to spec. Plan for a shop visit after install—this keeps tire wear even and steering feel locked in.

Do I need extended brake lines or bump stops?

That depends on your truck's condition and how you plan to use it. Test-fit the kit first, then assess how much extra suspension travel you have. If you're running stock shocks and springs, you may want to add bump stops to prevent bottoming—contact a suspension shop for specifics on your setup.

Can I install this myself with basic tools?

This kit bolts to factory points, so you won't need welding equipment. You'll need a jack, jack stands, basic wrenches, and a torque wrench. If you're comfortable removing and reinstalling suspension components, it's a weekend job. If not, a shop install takes 2–3 hours.
