After TB adjustment, should I get an alignment immediately, or let it settle/adjust for a bit? If so, how long? Thanks all
Timeframe for alignment after lift?

I usually give it a few days to ensure I have everything where I want it before spending money on an alignment, but I tend to fiddle with things. The front end will settle after going for an initial, post-adjustment, drive.
I agree with @aging fleet - the "settling" doesn't take much more than a drive around the block. So, if you're happy with how everything looks after a short drive, there's no need to wait on the alignment.
Don't forget to make final adjustments after initial drive. Mine settled unevenly the first drive around the block. Adjusted TBs and drove again and did my final adjustment.
I had almost an empty tank, so I set driver side 1/8th inch higher to try to correct cruiser lean. It ended up being dead on after a night sitting with a full gas tank.
20.75 in front and 22 in rear.
