what he said, you would think with spindles it would stay the same, but when I installed mine, they threw everything out of spec...

well i was told the other way.
cause when you spindles you just move the point where the tires mounts and with springs you move the upper and lower control arm.and yes all it should need is to set the toe cause the rack is mounted to the frame and i moved the frame down 2" in front. no big deal i can do this under the carport

100% correct, but you should get an alignment ANY time you do suspension work

the geometry shouldnt change but the toe will, i would advise you to trailer the vehicle to the alignment shop because you will ruin your tires on the trip there with the toe out of spec. Or if you dont have access to a trailer you can remove your tire
and break loose the tie rod nut and somewhat fix the toe by adjusting it yourself!
Good luck
