Do I NEED to do Alignment after the Mopar 2" lift install?

I was under the impression that there isn't really anything to align unless your add adjustable components ie: track bars ect.

Yes, you do. There are alignment specifications included at the end of the included directions.

I thought nothing on the mopar kit was adjustable. What is the alignment going to do?

Mainly, you’ve changed all your suspension angles so it will adjust your toe so you don’t wear out those new high dollar tires prematurely and unevenly.

Technically you don’t have to do anything, I suppose. Should you? Yes. Do you need to? No. I just prefer to do things by the book and it is a small price to pay after installing $1300 lift and possibly $4k wheels and tires.

Also, given the known steering issues on many Gladiators (here: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...b-08-074-20-for-improved-steering-feel.33705/ ) it’s nice to take alignment out of the equation should you run into future steering probs.

Here’s a previous thread on it: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...r-2-inch-lift-do-i-need-to-do-alignment.4154/
