I am thinking of eventually buying a Rubicon lift down the road to install on my Sport. Will I need to do a alignment afterwards?
I'm assuming with with a aftermarket one, not sure about this mod. Thanks

Mine didn’t need one with a 2.5” lift they checked alignment and showed me the report, I had to adjust my steering wheel position a little it was a bit off center.

Did you do the install yourself? Anything too complicated?

Just got my rubicon lift put on. How do you adjust the steering wheel on these? Was going to take it for alignment and ask them to do it. Is it easy?

It's incredibly easy. You just loosen the bolt on the drag link and twist the bar until your wheel is centered, then retighten the bolt. It may take a few tries to get it just right, but I wouldn't take it to a shop if you're looking to just adjust that one thing. You can do it in your garage with simple hand tools.

Here's a photo of the drag link on the JK. The JL's drag link has a single bolt (where as the JK had two), but the position and method for adjustment is exactly the same.
