My guess is that even if YOU won't notice...your tires will. Have it re-aligned. I've been doing alignments for 10 yrs now and can assure you that the above statment is true. When I do alignments on these babies I always make sure the customer/owner can hang around long enough to get the ride hight set before I adjust anything else.
