Alignment??

Can anyone confirm whether the alignment would have anything to do with the air suspension? I'm installing a Renntech lowering module this weekend and plan on installing a new set of wheels and would like to get my alignment done following that.

My concern is that if the alignment has anything to do with the air suspension, they'll see i added an aftermarket lowering module and void any warranty related to the air suspension.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You dont need allingment when u lower it is for when its parked and slightly for when driving.....Air ride has self adjusting Camber so un less you hit a lot pot holes or a curb u shouldnt need allingment ..... and its better to do allingment with your stock wheels....

Thanks for the responses.

I wanted the alignment done because I was told that with a 21" wheel that I could get uneven or premature wear, so an alignment would be a good idea after the wheels had been put on to correct that.

Why is it better to get it done with the stock wheels?

I would get an alignment done after you lower it. I had mine lowered and the camber on the right side was really bad. To that point that right front inside of my tire was shredded to pieces after about 7 months.
