1988 f150 4x4 leveling kit questions

I am fixing to uinstall a 2 inch leveling kit on the front end of my truck. I was wondering what other components in the steering I will have to change. in just looking at it , I think the leveling spacers are going to change the toe? and what other issue do I have to look forward to?

It will change the camber. So you'll need to have that adjusted with different camber/caster bushings. Once the camber is fixed then set the toe.

how much of an adjustment do I need? I found some adjustable bushings that go up to 2 degrees of adjustment

Call a tire shop and ask them. If you find one friendly enough that will help you instead of just telling you to bring it to them. That might be best anyways just pay for a professional alignment.
