Okay questions for you suspension experts :D . Now I got my Cognito leveling kit & ect.... The kit was to come with a 1/4 inch spacer. Web sight says include & some one posted pictures of there kit with. Am going to use H2 wheels & tires, new chrome take offs for cheap, I mean cheap :clap: . From all the post I've read & reread, everone is using the spacers to clear the UCA's. Now would it be okay to install the kit and have it align with stock wheels or better to wait for spacers & align with the H2 wheels?

I was going in to work tomm. to install, wait for spacer???? :help:

I would get your suspension set, forget about the wheels. Get your suspension the way it will be when it's complete, I.E. your spacer installed and everything. then take it to the alignment shop with your FACTORY wheels on.

I say this because if you change your suspension after the align it, it's hard telling if it will be off. May not be at all, but better to be safe than sorry.

Also I mentioned the part about factory wheels. On my old half ton I had the front end aligned and when they put the studs over my wheels they put four dents in both the front wheels. Guy at the alignment shop said it wasn't their fault, and I was screwed, so I never leave my aftermarket wheels on any vehicle when I get alignments done.

the wheels won't effect the allignmnet

the wheels won't effect the allignmnet

I'm not sure why so many people have been told that the wheels affet the alignment.... at least in the toe-in toe-out aspect!


personally I would get your wheels on the truck... if your alignment shop says put the stock wheels back on. drive down the road to another shop.
any good sop can get the alignment(your suspenion condition, and setup permitting) with whatever tire your going to run... then the castor/ camber and toe will all be correct for THAT tire setup...
