Stock Lowering Bolts
My car was lowered all the down on the stock bolts which caused me to scrap all the time in my driveway. I raised the car up an inch on all four corners. So my question is - do I need to have an alignment done or am I good to go? The car tracks fine without pulling in either direction. he good news is there is no more scrapping.

I would say yes it does but more importantly whatever shop you take it too needs to know how to align the rear as it requires a special adapter and digital angle finder to do it correctly.
DO NOT listen to anyone who tells you it's not important.
I hade a Chevy dealer try to tell me their techs will use their cell phone as the angle finder so not even all dealers can be trusted. I would ask them to show you the tool before letting them align it or check the alignment.
This is what the adapter looks like

This is the type of angle finder
