    Whenever you put drop spindles on you need to align your front end.. hell anytime you mess with or unbolt anything on your front end you need to have it aligned..

    crank the tie rods on both sides to straighten the wheels out as best as you can and get it aligned.

    I find it odd that they even told you no aligment needed... As stated anytime you work on the front end like that you always need to check if not adjust you aligment

    Who told you their was no alignment needed? It's completely obvious just by looking at them that they will need one. Plus as everyone here has said, anytime you mess with suspension or steering components you will need an alignment.
