Why do you think it will be easy to align a true type? The suspension has nothing to do with it. In OEM type you need to get spl mid links so you have complete toe control and true type you need spl toe links for full toe control. Granted toe links are way cheaper! Long as you have camber arms you'll be all good to align.
Thanks for the reply. That is what I was thinking of going with. SPL Toe links and SPL camber arms in the rear and possible SPL cambers arms up front (going to see after if its needed). Do you recommend the lockout kit? I know you made your own but are any of these necessary?

Good to hear. Ya, I have read that ppl say its fine but others say they don't recommend it cause it wasn't originally designed that way. Thanks for the reply.
