Shock replacement???

OK guys got a dumb question......I'm asking this without climbing under the truck to look but do you have to have the truck aligned after you replace the shocks?? What shocks do you recommend for an 85 4X4 and do you need any special tools?? Thanks guys!!!

I wouldn't think you would need a front end alignment unless it because of tire wear. My son just replaced the shocks on my wifes car and didn't require a alignment since no suspension work was done.

no aligment is needed when replacing shocks that has nothing to do witht he tracking of the of the wheels just the ride.
