Default New shocks=front end alignment?

Hey guys, if im going to switch out to Z51 shocks on my 91 with 83,000mi, do i need to have an alignment done on the car as well? Stupid question, but do they only do alignment on the front end of these corvettes?

I think that all four wheels should be aligned. There is only two adjustments that can be made on the rear.

No you dont need an alignment, but if one is done you need to do all 4.

They set the rears first, then set the front.
