Why does this package need so much alignment attention?

Question

Unplugged Performance · Accepted Answer

Any time you combine more suspension travel, added lift, and larger tires, geometry becomes critical, and Stage 3 is built around that. The front upper control arms and billet rear camber arms exist to bring alignment back into an optimal window at the higher ride height, protecting your contact patch and tire life. A professional four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation and should be tailored to your wheel and tire size, target height, and use.
