Your steering will still track straight but your tire wear will be uneven. I made this mistake on a Chevy once and it ruined the tires fairly quickly. Typically, they start wearing on the outside much, much faster.I had the Bilstein 5100's installed and didn't get it re-aligned. On a flat road if you let go of the steering wheel it will drive as straight as can be.
Did I just get lucky or is that not an indication of an aligned front end??
It’s very possible for your truck to drive straight, but I guarantee your alignment is actually off, which will cause your tires to wear weird eventually. When I lifted mine with Bilsteins at setting 5 it drove straight once I adjusted the toe, but when I took turns the tires would screech - indicating my toe was actually off. Once I put the bigger tires on I got it professionally aligned and the toe was wayyy off and it had way too much positive camber as well even though the truck drove straight.I had the Bilstein 5100's installed and didn't get it re-aligned.

All of your specs changed when you changed the height but you won't know by how much (or how far out of tolerance it is) until you get it on a rack to have it checked.I had the Bilstein 5100's installed and didn't get it re-aligned.
