Default Alignment after level/tires?

I plan on putting a level on with my stock 18" wheels/tires for now and getting an alignment. My question is ... do I need to get another alignment when I get my new 20" tires and rims installed as well?

Bringing this back from the dead. I accept the "No" answer, but I would like to hear feedback from more people. I'm in a similar situation where Discount wants me to put the wheels and tires on (20x9 +1 & 305/55/R20) then go get put on the Bilstein 5100s and get an alignment. For time effectiveness it is easier to put on the Bilsteins and get the alignment then when the wheels/tires come in Discount can throw them on. So I have the same question: If I get an alignment after installation of the 5100s on stock wheels and tires then go get the wheels and tires put on a week later do I need an additional alignment?

Thanks for your input.

I had mine aligned when I got my new wheels and tires,but I had purchased the LIFETIME alignment from Firestone when I did the level so it made since. The truck was still within the allowed tolerances so not much was done. In my case alignment was not necessary.

if the only thing being changed after the alignment is the wheel and tire than you're fine.
