Default Wheel alignment

I just bought a 2" leveling kit for my 05, and Im thinking about doing the leveling kit myself. Do you guys recommend I get a wheel alignment after I put in the kit?

Thanks

You'll have more positive camber on both wheels afterward. If you don't align, you'll wear the outside of your tires faster than the inside.
