Post Do i need to get an alignment done after my lift kit?

MY XJ is going to be lifted in a week but i have heard about the "death wobble" associated after putting it on. My steering wheel is in the position it should be in when turning slightly to the right instead the car goes straight. I am just wondering if i need to get a alignment done to it

Get it done professionally right after the lift, they will set everything up for ya, then after that do your own allignments

x2. Mine pulled a little before I lifted. Took her in to a local shop right after, and she's been straight and true ever since.
