Level 2.5 Alignment

If I do a 2.5 front level and 4 inch tapered blocks in the rear, will I need new shocks too? Will I need a front end alignment? Will I need an adjustable track bar?

My 13 f250 with a 2.5 inch kit and stock track bar went to the alignment after the install and it was still in spec.
Tires are so expensive its worth it to check the alignment anyway.

a good truck repair shop will do an alignment check for around 50 dollars. The local guy i go to (only had my truck checked once) charged me 50 dollars after i installed my 2" front level spring on my 2004 F350. i took measurements before and after and adjusted my tract bar and drag link myself before going to the shop.... he said i did good because the truck was well within spec, if not he said it could have been almost 200 dollars if they had to adjust everything to get it back into spec
