Alignment question

So I had to put a .25 wheel Spacer on my stock 21 Laramie rim to prevent tire rub on my uca after adding a 3.5 lift kit. I think I already know the answer to this but I thought I would ask the truck guru's on here. So will I need to get another alignment or will the .25 Spacer not effect that at all? The only time the tire rubbed was when I was going around tight corners at high speed and my ABS light would come on

Thanks

The part I quoted sounds strange, but to answer your question, adding a wheel spacer doesn’t necessitate an alignment. The only thing you should do is re-check torque of the wheel after 50 or so miles of driving after install.

The spacer should have negligible effect, but the lift might.

I already had the lift on before this. It was a tight gap between the tire and uca but now with the Spacer more peice of mind that it's not going to rub.
