Just becuase I didn't find much info on this when I was researching the topic I am posting my results. I installed my 2.5" leveling kit on Saturday. The truck drove straight and did not pull at all. I brought it in today to have the alignment checked it was toed in .5 deg on each side. I had them adjust it to stock specs and it drives the same, just easier on my tires. The camber or caster (shouldn't effect that) was still w/in stock specs (+.3 deg I think from memory on both sides).

FYI

 

Good info. That's almost exactly what I had with mine. IIRC, toe in was about .7 degrees per wheel. It's even on both sides, so you really don't notice any pull or odd steering, but setting it back to near zero eliminates the tire scrub and may pick up just a little more MPG.

 

Didn't find info on this???????????????????????

There are HUNDREDS if not thousands of threads about just this. Leveling kits! Must of not looked to hard...

When you install the leveling kit, it will throw off the toe, causeing premature tire wear, which is why they tell you to aligne the truck after. I did mine for $120($80 2" autospring LK, installed myself, and $40 alignement).

 

Hey mbbford. Why dont you just ignore this thread instead of being an ****??? You are a *****.

 

Why don't you shut the FU** up? That seemed to be a pretty useless post!

I was stating a fact that this has been covered hundreds of times, and I never said anything remotely offensive, and I even gave a little info confirming what he said.

 

None with numbers you jag off. That was the sole purpose of my thread. The Camber is not affected, which is what I was told in some threads. And no one said how bad the toe would be off, wh/ I why I posted this thread.

And to make a correction to my original post, the Camber was -.3 not +.3. Just for reference.

 

Guys... let's be nice. If not nice, at least be cordial. Thanks.

 

mrpositraction I appreciate the post since I'm about to install kit myself!

 

I looked for the correct alignment specs and even asked and no one gave the info. My truck seemed to be wrong before starting any changes.

 

Your an idiot. What do you care if he posts?

 

I have never seen the actual numbers posted. One thing to consider is - knowing the toe will be .5 - .7 degrees in - when you are done with the leveling install, give the tie rods a small crank to give yourself a little toe out.

You might get lucky. One time I was at an alignment shop, they put the car on the rack and said "the alignment is good, no charge"

 

ENOUGH!

This is that last warning made in this thread.

 

Sorry about that. I apoligize for my rudeness.

 

I installed autospring 2 inch and had my 05 f150 alined according to specs in kit now have wear on outside 1.5 inches of tires I lost original specs does anybody no what they are?
