Really hard to say. That is why I got the life-time alignment at firestone. I think there are quite a few of us with that.

What measure is getting out of alignment? It's possible that your LCA adjustment brackets aren't tight enough, they are really only held in place by friction.
I've only done alignments on mine when I change suspension... and that's only been twice in ~70k.

From my understanding it's pretty common for ifs trucks to get knocked out of alignment after wheeling. Like James said it's just the tightness of three bolts holding them in place. They are tightened to 180 or so ft lbs if I remember right, but that's fighting a heavy truck with big tires and lots of leverage.
