Default heater hose mod question?
Just thinking of doing the heater hose mod on stock springs/shocks on 99 t/a. Do Ineed an alignment after this mod? Thx

Not with the solid axle in the rear. I believe the pinion angle should be checked afterwards.

Also check rear end for center. A panhard-bar style rear suspension will shift from side to side when ride height is changed. This is where an adjustable bar comes in

The HH mod doesn't lower it significantly enough to make pinion angle or centering a problem. I've done it on six cars - never an issue.

NOPE. You have an I-beam in the rear of the car. It will just do want it wants. You may want to look into an adjustable panhard bar to center the rearend but it is not necessary.
