Default question about replacing upper control arms

i couldnt quite find the answer i was looking for through the search, but i need to replace the bushings in the upper control arms on my 01 supercrew 4x4 and im just going to get the whole new control arm cuz its cheaper than bushings separately. anyways, i know its a pretty straight forward job, but does this require an alignment afterwards? i was watching a vid of a guy doin it and was talking about matching up the bushing bolts the same as they came off and aligning afterwards. Just wanna know what i gotta do after i get these in. any help would be greatly appreciated.
