Hi Guys!
I'm putting on a 1.75" suspension spacer lift and new shocks this weekend, but can't get the jeep to an alignment shop till the end of next week, will this cause any damage if I drive around without an alignment for a few days?
Second question with a 2" body lift (seperate lift to the 1.75" spacer lift) do you have to relocate the fuel filler nozel or lengthen it at all? The instructions included in the kit do not mention it at all, they cover everything else but not the fuel filler nozle/cap!

Body Damage is Cool

May not even need it.
I never did an alignment after 4" of suspension lift in mine.
It's fine, tracks straight at 70 MPH and the mud terrains are wearing evenly after 12 months and 10,000 miles.
You should recenter your steering wheel if it's off after the lift. Messes with the traction control ESP thing if it's off center.
Doubt the fuel filler neck needs to be moved. None of the body lift install write ups I've seen mention it.
Puttin 35" MT's on?

Anytime you change steering geometry, you probably need an alignment.
Most of the time the changes will not affect drive ability and only show through tire wear many miles later.
A 2" body lift on my YJ did not agree with fuel filler hose.
Generally, the fuel tank is body mounted and should not be bothered by a body lift. However, fuel lines to the engine are frame mounted. In my case, I had to feed gas slowly or the pump would shut off. Removed the body lift and tank fills fine.
