yes you do, since the angle will be different..

I recommend doing it AFTER it settles which takes a few weeks.

A few weeks? I heard bad alignment can really ruin some tires.

not a few weeks, more like A week. i waited a week to get my alignment done after my trd shocks and springs settled, and then got it aligned back in march and i have no unusual tire wear.

worked for me for 5 months and about 10,000 miles, same set of tires, no unsual tire wear yet. i'm going to get an oil change and tire rotation this week, i'll let you know if they say i have unusual tire wear.
