Ummmmmm....
you might need to, depending on how long you leave the tension off, how long you allow it to adjust to the strings being back on, and if you keep the same gauge of strings on there... oh and if you dont put your neck back at the same angle...
Dude, if you make sure the neck is shimmed exactly the same way as it was when you take it off, and restring with the same gauge strings, and allow it to adjust to having tension again, it should be totally fine. Actually, if you dont, you could potentially ruin a good setup (if you have one). Changing your neck angle IS NOT THE SAME as adjusting relief. you cant just change the angle of the neck and make up for it in relief. Those are 2 seperate things in setting up a guitar. thats one reason i like bolt ons better, you cant really do much about neck angle in a neck through once its built, which worries me in anything outside of masterfully crafted NT's.
If you angle the neck exactly the same as it was during removal, you should be totally fine
