Default Do i need an alignment after removing my 3 inch body lift?

I spent saturday removing my 3 inch body lift on my 96 z71 and i think i need an alignment but i thought i'd get the input of you guys first. The steering wheel seems to be to the right a little bit so this is why i think i need one. All responses are appreciated, thanks a lot.

I removed only the 3 inch body lift it still has a 2 inch suspension on it but i just dont understand why it would need an alignment. Think it would have anything to do with the steering linkage? Thanks for the responses guys.

you shouldn't if its just the body lift, thte only thing steering wise that might change is the intermediate shaft length or angle
