Springs need to "settle" to the final height.

x2

when you first put them on they are not at the complete drop yet. wait about a week or so and they should be settled enough. if you get an alignment now your just gonna waste your money cuz then you wil need another in a week

They knew it was modified at time of telling me about the warrenty so if they try to pull something on me, well lets just say they will start seeing things my way.

It has started to settle though, I can see the difference between now and when I posted the pics lol. Do you guys take off the mud flaps? Mine are scraping on speed bumps when I take it at an angle.

To be honest, the alignment shouldn't be off by much anyway. I went after my springs settled and they told me they adjusted it by the 1/10th of an inch or whatever it was, but that I really didn't need an alignment.

I would take 'em off. Looks better too. I just hate that the body gets dirty...
