Naw, that's not off roading....come on a run, we have lots of stockers, so you won't be in over your head or anything...there's appropriate trails for all levels of experience and equipment...and the guys in the club know who can do what, and I've never seen them pressure someone to do more than they can...if anything, they're more likely to say "What, are you nuts!?"
The alignment won't affect your lift height...so no, no interference there.
Your lift height really affects your alignment though, so after the lift, its essential to get an alignment.
The alignment is really to correct for the camber change produced by the lift...
When you lift an IFS, the drive train is the same length, but it has to still reach the ground...so it has to take a short cut to still reach...
This makes the tires swing inward as you lift the front end...and the tops of the tires therefore tip more outwards....like this: \ - /
To correct that change in camber, the alignment adjusts the tires to be more like this: I - I than \ - /
That way, the tires outer edges do not wear prematurely, handling is restored, etc.
The PML only lifts the front end about 1.5", so the above illustration is VERY exaggerated...but that's the idea...in real life, you can't really see the changes.
Hope that helps!
