Unless what they were talking about was the strut, where there is a spring/shock combo, it won't affect alignment.

Still wouldn't. A strut is completely independent of anything that aligns the tire

If the strut sags or if the bracket that supports the spring is damaged it can and will effect the alignment. Anything that decreases the length of the strut will effect the camber of the wheel.
ETA - the strut is usually attached to the LCA which is not independent of the alignment.

For future work, shocks or otherwise, take your vehicle to Highland Car Care.
Tell him I sent you. (and he will say wtf is that?) You'll be entertained, get your car fixed, at a fair price.
Tires and tire pressure affect your ride and handling more than anything, imo.

I monitor my tires all the time... And I have the tire pressure monitor systems on my truck.
My pressures are pretty consistent.

Shocks last about 50k - 60k miles. If you tow/haul/offroad regularly in a truck then they won't even last that long. Lot people are running around on worn out shocks and are completely oblivious. Shocks are regular wear items, just like tires.
