When installing Timbren helper springs # TTORTUN4L on a 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 the vehicle only gets partially raised so the axle cannot hang freely so it would not be able to get out of alignment. But you could still go an get a rear end alignment for peace of mind if you wanted to.

I have included a link to the installation instructions for this kit for you.
