Default Four wheel alignment?

I just had the trailing arm assemblies rebuilt in my 74. The shims were all replaced with exactly the same size in the same position as before they were removed. How important is it to have a four -wheel alignment done now? Just want to be sure.
Thanks

Check the alignment your self to confirm.
