This may be a stupid question but I have to ask...


I installed a new front bumper, front skid plate and winch. I lost about an inch of height in front, no surprise there. So I decided to buy a 1" spacer from Teraflex (sadly I bought only one-waiting for the second ) and decided to ask the guys at the 4 wheel shop how much to install them. They said $174 which included an alignment.

Heres the question: How hard is to install these 1" pucks and do I really need an alignment?

 

With basic wrenching skills it's easy. And no alignment needed.

 

Thanks!

 

I had my local shop install mine since it was winter and I don't have a heated garage. 1 hour labour ($60) and no alignment necessary. And that was a 1.75" spacer!!

 

The one on 82nd? They tried to sell me the same thing. Told them no and did it myself.

 

Nay, no need to align your just goin knock it out of alignment anyway on the trails, why waste the cash...

 

Yeah I am at that same point. I just ordered the parts and I'll do it myself. Kind of made me step back and think we he said I NEEDED an alignment. Figured he knew something I didn't.. But all the advice I have been given is that I dont need it. This is a gret forum!

 

Aligning your JK is very simple. You don't need a shop to do this or to install a spacer. You can do it with zero experience. There are many good write ups on how to do both here on the forums.

 

Thanks for the advice. I did the install myself and no alignment needed.

It was the easiest thing I've done all week! The front skid plate was more of a pain then that was..

 

If you need help, let me know next time!
