Fender Roll + Alignment

Probably a stupid question...but...should I roll the fenders first or get an alignment first. Because the guy who's installing everything for me said to let the springs settle before getting an alignment. Wouldn't it look weird with a rolled fender then getting a -1.5 Camber...?

with a fender roll , you do not actually see much off any thing.

so it will not look weird.

if you are having your fenders rolled AND pulled , that would be a different story .

Nah, just rolled. I'll just take the dudes advice and let the springs settle. I'm only getting -1.5 camber anyway, so it's not big of a deal. Thanks.

if you're not rubbing, you don't need to roll your fenders.

if you are rubbing, you prolly should've rolled your fenders before lowering your vehicle.

get an alignment after the lowering has "settled."

The wheels are +15, so it's a definite roll in the rears.

Springs shouldn't take too long to settle. After a day or 2 you will hear rubbing and then go from there. If you are worried about it get them rolled and be done with it. Then you don't have to worry.

No, it's not that I'm worried. It's just that -1.5 camber isn't THAT drastic where it would make that big of a difference on whether or not I align first or last. I don't know why I made this thread, lol. I answered my own question. I'm going to have everything installed and rolled the day of.
