Those look like they only raise it 1", so you'll have no trouble with the alignment.

I used 2"PRG spacers and was fine up front. The rear was always a little towed in, so I opted to get the 2" springs instead and it fixed the problem.

I like that front bar as well, but it says it only fits the R51 up to 08.

I am running the rancho spacer in the back and the quick lift struts in the front. It has worked out very well for me.

Look at the Bilstein 5100 lift struts, you get a better lift and new high quality struts. I had them on my Tundra and they're awesome, I'll be swapping out the stock Ranchos in the R51 shortly.

I have spacers installed on mine. Got about 2" lift from a less than 1" spacer. No alignment problems and made the front firmer. Ground clearance obviously improved.
