So, I've heard that after you do a torsion bar lift, that you should get an alignment, I've also hear the oposite, that you don't need to. Whats the truth? Thanks.!

Depends on the lift and if the alignment was off to begin with, if you have the bottoms of the tires pushed out (from wear and sag) and only lift back to factory hight you should be fine but if you do like a 2" lift you will need an alignment
 






well, it was sagging to begin with, but I think its higher than stock now.. I'll get it looked at anyways...

Can't hurt. An alignment for a torsion bar suspension at most big parts stores/VIP/tire shops is like 40-70$ around here.
 






Blue basically summed it up.

My alignment was always off by about 2 degrees. After the torsion twist, (2 inches), it corrected itself to about 0.5 degrees, which is awesome.

Either way, I went to get an alignment after.

Just go get it checked, most places charge $20 to check, $60 to do it. So if it's off, just get it done. Save your tires.
