    You should be fine, but may want to install the new tires/wheels after the alignment. 0 offset wheels could be close to that body mount. It also depends whether or not you guys loosen the lower control arms to replace the front shocks, some people like do it that way, but it's not necessary.

    It won’t hurt your suspension or tires for the vehicle to sit for a few days post install. The last post made a good point about installing the new wheels though so agreed there.

    I drove about 15 miles to the shop to have my alignment done.

    I actually think it's to your advantage to put a few hundred miles on it before you do the alignment. My druthers would be to go do some offroad shit in that 200 miles and really give the suspension a workout.

    -The springs will settle a little and if you align it right away it will be out of alignment once they do settle.

    -If you screw something up with the install and have to redo some of your work, which likely won't present until you drive it, you're going to be realigning it.

    A few hundred miles will not be an issue with tire wear. Just have your guy set it to a good visual approximation when he does the lift and get the actual alignment done later.
