I can see how getting a good alignment after shock replacement is important on a strut-type suspension, but on the E450 I don't think shocks have any effect on alignment. The only think I can think of is if the new shocks are pressurized and raise ride height a bit, which could affect alignment, but I doubt that's significant at all.
