Im trying to do some research if i would need to order some spacers before i do it or not. What you think? Would i be ok if i did the alignment now, and put the spacers in later within a week?

Yeah. Spacers are just a hub exstenion. They don't throw offalignment specs at all.

Righteous is the alignment guru.

Question for Righteous then. What spacers are you guys talking about? My friend at work was telling me that you need axle spacers when you lower the S alot. I plan on running 17x9 rpf1's none staggered. What precautions should I take with this?

No you don't. I've been slammed for many years without them. 9+45 is a semi-agressive setup. Will be easy

Like D_spec said you should be fine. With 9in and 45 offset on the rear you will need some fender mods. ( role the fender inside flat and bumper tab relocation ) and some neg camber might do the trick as well.

If your going to be dropped more than an inch you will need a roll and tabs relocated. When I had my rpf1's I was dropped about 2.5 inches and rubbed pretty easily in the rear.

Even half shaft spacers will not effect alignment.
