No your alignment won't change just taking off a tire and putting it back on. If you drastically change tire size when you have them off it could effect your alignment. Aren't TTB trucks great!!!

Even a change in tire size shouldn't affect the alignment, unless a lift kit was added to fit the larger tires.

Feel free to change your tires as often as you like and don't worry about the alignment getting off because if it .

Wider tires or wheels with more offset could effect camber, but SoCal is right you would probably have to lift it to make a big enough tire change. If you lifted it you would need an alignment anyway.
