Yes, you should get an alignment after installing a leveling kit.Your toe will be off and your tires will wear unevenly.

Actually, a lot of guys are getting the 1.5" since with it there's no chance of the front end ever looking higher than the back. Mine is perfectly level. I don't know if it's because it's a 2WD or just the way it looks, but I love the lift!

I installed a 2" leveling kit (2005 4x4 Super Crew) and all I have to say is it sucked. That's right past tense as they are now paper weights. Reason:
1. Limits extension of strut to 1.5 in travel
2. Puts lower ball joint in extream bind causing excelerated wear, as in 49,000 mile.
3. When loaded (which my often is) nose sticks up.
That's all I got to say about that.
