[QUOTE="NJ SILVERBULLET, post: 6410078, member: 22291"] The only way to adjust the alignment on these trucks is to buy a set of aftermarket "cam-bolts" to replace the stock upper control arm mounting bolts...Then your alignment guy can actually do a true alignment instead of just setting the toe like most shops do...It's definately worth it in my opinion because these trucks have way too much negative camber from the factory for normal driving, and it gets worse if the truck is lowered with diffferent or cut springs...Once you have the alignment done properly, you will notice much-improved tire wear and the slightly less cornering ability will never be noticed by the vast majority of drivers. My alignment was really screwed up, but it was "in spec" according to what Ford says it should be for these trucks...I kept the caster at about 7.5 to 8 degrees, got the camber to about -.25 degrees and set the toe about 1/16" toed in...the tires are wearing great, it handles just fine and is very stable at high speeds, even at the track with my Bogarts & skinnies up front...By the way, where I have it set at is also within "factory specs", it's just where I prefer to have it. This is just my opinion, and opinions are like a$$holes...everybody has one.:-D I'll put on my "flame suit" now. lol :burn: [/QUOTE]
