Any time ride height is altered an alignment is required. Front end alignment is an overlooked and inexpensive way to improve handling characteristics regardless if you are autocrossing or drag racing. Factory alignments are typically set up conservatively, as understeer is considered a safer condition at the limit of traction. Since Chevrolet sends the Silverado SS out the door with about one degree more caster than the K1500, I chose the SS's caster spec as a starting point. My local alignment shop, Dunivin's Corner in Woodbridge, VA, is staffed by SCCA racers and they recommended -.25 degrees of camber and 0 degrees of toe-in. This picture was shot immediately after the autocross with about 42 psi. The 60 series tires kicked ass and never rolled over onto the sidewall.
