would assume if the front sits higher the alignment should checked.
been squared away. thanks for any info.--irv

Ride height should remain virtually the same as stock at the lowest setting. You should check ride height before and after install to verify this.

The important thing is to maintain ride height regardless of loading. This is where the front shock adjustablity is so important. Not only for improved weight control (handling). But to keep your alignment good. Your alignment tends to go away as you move away from the height at which your Spyder was aligned.

The 2013+ Spyders steering geometry (compared to earlier models) is less susceptible to alignment changes as ride height varies. But it is still a good idea to keep it close to original. Not to mention being able to avoid front end strikes from a loaded Spyder a few more inches closer to the ground. This is what happens if you are not able to compensate with adjustable spring loading.
