    Thanks for the quick responses guys,

    So there is enough adjustment in the lower control arms after a 2-inch spacer lift? In other words, an alignment shop can get her lined up without the need for adjustable uppers?

    You have a 50/50 chance. Some guys running 2 inch lifts have no problem getting their XK/WK aligned afterwards. And others have bad tire cupping like I did. But if you still get cupping order the Rocky Road Upper control arms. They are not adjustable, they are built for lifted XK's/WK's to get the alignment back in spec and give you a nice heavy duty control arm/replacable ball joint at the same time!

    It took me a couple different locations to get the alignment done properly after installing my lift. I ended up at Goodyear Auto Care and bought the lifetime road force balancing and alignment packages. Its well worth the money!

    Matt installed my lift and I got tires w/ alignment about 2 days later and I have had no noticable issues so far. I showed him the print out for the alignment and it was "OK" lol :P
