After changing out their springs with stiffer OEM's 19AC | 60AA's - did anyone need to do an front end alignment or make adjustments to recenter the steering wheel - i am adding teraflex 1/2" coil spacers both front and rear as well.
Thoughts?

I run them on a '09 2 dr. X. I also added gas shocks an am very happy with the ride. I purchased them from a Mopar Dealer.

Had to jack the axle up about an inch to actually get the 19's to fit up front. I also had both front and rear bumpers installed so maybe moving stuff around?? I'm not 100% sure but I would figure everything getting pushed and pulled would account for the slight off centering of my wheel. Hopefully this alignment helps....
You jacked the axle "up"? You need to lower it to fit the 19's.

I've done coil swaps on two jeeps now (one being mine which included swapping shocks as well) and have not had any issues with alignment or recentering steering wheel.
