Default Rancho Quicklift Loaded - Alignment and Settleing

Just put Rancho struts on the front today.
How long should I wait to realign?
Do they settle in at all?
I actually got more than 2in of lift, front is 3/4 to 1in higher than the back now. When I started the back was 2.5 in higher.

I was going to go get it aligned in the morning, but should I wait and put some miles on it. Dont want to eat up the tires.

I had mine aligned the day after because I didn't want to wear my tires. Turns out it wasn't out much. I don't remember how long it'll take but they'll settle. I had about 2 1/4-2 1/2"of lift at first even after the alignment.

that's what i got post install, after I drove it for a day and got it aligned is settled in at 2.5" of lift. So now its exactly level with the back. I'm happy with that, im guessing it may go down a 1/2" after breaking in. Alignment was only off on the toe.

Can the Ranchos be set at different heights? I am thinking about getting these but I only want about 1.5" in lift.

no, they are adjustable as far as stiffness but not height
