Alignment Needed after Steering Stabilizer

Do I need to have an Alignment done in my F-350 after I replace my Steering Stablizer...it is basically a Stock Replacement Single Unit-Rancho

Thanks

No alignment needed. If you haven't had one done in quite awhile or have replaced any other front end component or tires it's a good idea to have it done even if it feels ok.

Has the stock lift, but the prior owner had 35s or maybe they were 33s on it and I took them off within 10 minutes of buying the truck and put OEM size Good Years on....maybe I should get it done just in case?

seems to drive fine though..no pulling etc

If you dont know the history of the truck it would be a good idea. Especially since you just added new tires, it would suck to have them wear prematurely.
