Raising front end / Wheel alignment

If you have the resources then by all means, go out and have it all gone over.
I do my own alignment and adjustments and my tires last for years of daily driving (well, the front ones anyway):D
Point is, I change mine an inch up or down sometimes with zero difference in handling or tire wear at all that I can tell.
Of course if your tie rods are fairly parallel to the ground it's no risk at all to change an inch, but if it's already lifted enough to raise the inner end of them an inch over the outer ends then that adding one inch of lift can change things more drastically.

If the tie rods are fairly level with the ground now, then an inch of lift isn't going to hurt a thing with the alignment.
