I just had my front and rear sprockets changed out and had a new chain installed.

Do I need to adjust the tension regularly until it stretches out?

Is there an easy way to make sure the rear tire is straight? I don't always trust the notches on the swingarm.

Is that using 2x4's or something? I saw something about a process that used 2x4's in some fashion; that was years ago and I can't remember it now.
