HI Mike, I installed the aftermarket Correct Track system on our 2008. The system only allows you to move axle mounting points front-to-rear in 1/4" increments. The alignment on a trailer is simple, the axles must be parallel to each other and also square to the trailer.
Loading does not affect anything you can adjust with the Correct Track. Loading WILL affect the camber, but the camber is built in to the upward curve of the axle when it's made. If you lose camber due to overloading, you must replace the axle, there is no adjustment for it.
If you don't have an indication that alignment is off as evidenced by uneven tire wear, then I would not pay the dealer to do any alignment.

X2^^. The Lippert systems are known for weak shackles and not having wet bolts - so they wear quickly and break more often. Have the whole suspension system inspected for shackle and bolt wear. You might even consider installing heavy-duty shackles and wet bolts for a little more peace of mind.

If your TT came from the factory with heavy duty shackles and wet bolts,,, it was either an option, or your manufacturer cared enough to spend some extra $$$ for it.
Nice try on slamming Lippert... Might have a future as a politician.
Not trying to "slam" Lippert, Huntingdog - just speaking from personal experience. I agree that the same can be said for any of the basic systems from Dexter and other manufacturers. No need to get snarky. I'm a retired Army officer and have absolutely no interest in politics other than voting.
