If I buy all that and adjust it right do I really need to do an alignment after? I'm on a college budget.

I have the n2.0 and they seem pretty good to me so far. Do u have the 2.2 or n2.0? Oh and the n2.0 is a positive charged shock

You don't need an alignment. There is nothing to align, other than recentering the steering wheel, and that's something that anyone can do.

Shocks do not SUCK. You just have unreal expectations and should have bought a Cadillac.

I didn't expect a Cadillac pal. I like having my teeth.

I was a little harsh on the description ha, they don't "suck" they just probably need an upgrade. You get what you paid for though

I have this kit installed and the ride is really rough. I ended up replacing the shocks with Skyjacker Hydros. The handling is pretty much the same but it is extremely stiff and I felt every bump. I put 30k on the lift with stock tires. I just upgraded to 35s and I've had good results. If you want a comfortable ride I wouldn't go with this.

x2. But I mean if you don't really wheel a lot like me, a budget lift like this is perfect. But if you plan on wheeling often I would invest in a higher dollar one (AEV, Teraflex, Rock Krawler etc).
