Default Re: Positive camber... just remove the shims?

Well, got the truck back from the shop. I could instantly feel the difference in ride, as well as ease of turning. It feels like it rolls much more smoothly. They removed most of the original shims as well as added some new ones.

Unfortunately someone made a mistake and accidentally ordered two 225/70R15s for the front instead of 255/70R15s all around, so I'll be bringing it back into the shop on Friday to swap them out. I didn't even realize it until I was looking at the truck from a distance, noticed something looked off, and checked the numbers. I know a lot of people like the staggered look, but I'm not the biggest fan.

My biggest concern is this... If they did the alignment with these smaller tires up front, should they recheck the alignment once they put the 255s up front or does it not matter?

Here's the before and after alignment adjustments, as well as a photo of how it looks (for now):
