If I put a 1.5" lowering block in the rear of my truck will I need an alignment?

From my understanding only the front can be aligned not the back of the 03 Sports right?

You are right. The rear is a solid axle and wont have any sort of Camber/Caster adjustment. You would only need an alignment after lowering your front.
 






Sweet. Thanks.
 






umm, lowering the rear will change the caster angle.

Just the act of adding a few hundred pounds to the rear will have an effect on the front alignment
