Did the DW bolt upgrade and while I was at it I did new shocks, tires and added Smittybilt side rails. All with a basic set of home tools. After a few hundred miles I will retorque all of the fittings and do an alignment.

Big time. Super solid when hitting bumps. It's a completely different vehicle.

If all you did was the bolt kit and your alignment was right before, you should not need a new alignment since you didn't change the geometry of it. Yes, to re-torquing bolts after 50 miles or so. I checked mine and they were all good after 60 miles.
