Default Alignment ?

I finished my lift (Teraflex 2.5 BB) and tire/wheel (ProComp 17X8/Nitto TG 295/70R17) project. It drives and handles great, no pulling one way or the other, just like it did before. My question is: Should i have to have the alignment checked when the vehicle drives fine?
Thanks...

nope... just make sure your steering wheel is centered and you should be fine.

No. You should not. I would keep an eye on tire wear though, just to be on the safe side.

Unless you've changed some additional parts, there's not an alignment tech can align! Here's a good write-up on doing it yourself (assuming you have changed some suspension parts):
