One think you'll want to be wary of is if you have the TC installed all the way on the transmission side. I had my transmission in and out a few times last year and in my experience the alignment was only difficult when I didn't have the TC installed all the way. There were 2 removals/installs...
None of this is strictly necessary but will get your truck closer to handling stock. If you're happy with steering feel, and not experiencing any crazy wobble maybe you can just leave things alone. I have a similar lift height with Iron Man springs and have done the following. The handling...
