Default Alignment after lift

im planning on a lift within the next month. going with OME 779/762 and the new nitro sport shocks. how do alignments turn out with a lift like this? are the QT 3* castor corrected front arms necessary? or will i get an ok alignment with the stock arms? wont the tires wear bad when i turn?

i was just curious, just want to make sure i can get an OK alignment when i do lift it. so when i get tires i dont chew them up. im getting 265-75-16 BFG AT KO, thanks!

these are the arms i saw...

These trucks are not IFS trucks, they dont require an allignment after a lift as a IFS does. However your castor will be changed, not enough to require anything as long as you stay under 3". The only thing that will correct this is new swivel ***** or radius arms.

I got an alignment after putting on my lift, tires are a pretty big investment (at least they are IMHO), might as well do what you can to protect that investment and make sure they last as long as they can. Plus many times the alignment shop will give you a "guarantee" that if your tires wear like crap they'll replace the tires fo free!
