Alignment after drop spindles?
 
I installed drop spindles on my brothers 71 yesterday and was wondering if I need to align the truck now. She drives straight but we noticed the spindles pulled the wheels in closer to the a-arms. We may do one regardless, just curious on if it is urgently needed. Alot of clearanceing was needed on the a-arms due to this with 6.5 inch rallies.

a good alignment costs less than a pair of tires plus a good alignment contributes to good gas mileage

Does it "need" it when you change spindles? Probably not. Should you get it checked anyway? Probably so...;)

If my brother doesn't work one night this week I'll probally have him drive it down to the shop and straighten her up.
