Pedder Springs = Alignment?

I have pedders and an ottp 1" rear bar on order. I was wondering would a realignment be required after installment? Thnks!

yes like with ANY spring install you will need an alignment 1-2 weeks after install; after they are settled in some.

I wouldn't say a matter of time, i would drive 100 miles and align it. I drove 250 in a matter of a week and a half, and with the toe messed up like it was, it put about 4000 miles worth of wear on brand new tires. Needless to say, i'm pretty pissed at myself. I have a lifetime alignment now, so if i ever do another suspension setup, i will align it that same day, then go back in a week and have it re-checked.
