Default Will Leveling Cause Alignment Issues

Will leveling the front end to 24 1/2" cause alignment issues... where after you get it realigned it wont stay perfectily aligned?

I wouldn't go over 24. Mine is at 23.5 and it's enough for clearence issues.

I'm at 23.5 also, I don't foresee any issues after getting it aligned but the issue that everyone else says that it drifts back and forth if you go over 24 inches. I've read that on other forums about other vehicles as well. Also the the half shaft joints supposdly were faster because of the extreme angle they are put at when going higher. I was told that by the hummer mechanics, I asked them because I got my h3 in for the recall and they know me to go offroading and do some mechanical work.

ill chime in.... I leveled my truck at about 20k miles (24"). did NOT align till 45k miles after leveling. Mounted new 315 duratracks at 50k miles, still have not aligned it since 45k miles, now have 57k miles. ride is perfect and zero tracking issues. Run 38-39psi, and have good tire wear. just an fyi, its an adventure model that had 285's stock, and Ive added bilstien shocks.

I think you need a real shop to look at it.
