Every vehicle is different, mostly because their alignment is within factory specs but its a range.
2. You may have to do the front liner mod which involves moving the front wheel well plastic liner forward and rescrewing.




LCA = Lower Control Arm
UCA = Upper Control Arm



Aftermarket control arms are usually recommended for lifts >2.5" and are designed with added caster to aid in retaining factory alignment specs when aftermarket lift kits are installed. This reduces the darting or wandering in the vehicle's steering when lift kits are installed and solves some rubbing issues for larger tires (up to a certain size of course).



Do your research into the different types of aftermarket control arms available. The ones that use uniballs give you more flexibility but can come at the sacrifice of noise and quicker wear.

The only other consideration is that any lift type modification will likely reduce the longevity of your vehicle. Notably, lifts over 2.5" puts increased stress on your CV joints as the angles are more acute. 50% of the people believe that a differential drop kit alleviates this stress, and the other 50% don't put any value on a diff drop kit :-).
