When to align

I got my B&G's installed a couple days ago and was wondering when I should get aligned? I set it to the height i want (2 finger gap 205/50/15) and drove around for a few miles, left it over night...went out this morning and it dropped to about 1 - 1/2 finger gap so i'm thinking its just the coils settling after being in a box for a while. I'm thinking i'll need to raise it once or twice more till i get the height i want. Should I get it aligned now or wait till its done settling? I've heard both...get it aligned right away or everytime something changes on ur suspension you should get it aligned? Thanks in advance

drive it around for a week. make sure your at the hieght you want then get it aligned. a week of driving should not hurt your tires much and that will be plenty of time for things to settle.

find some time to drive it hard (not too hard). Make sure the drop is where you want it. Then get it aligned. You can adjust the tie rods if you are worried about toe issues.
