So it's been a minute since I did all the suspension work ie: 2.5" level,35x12.50's on stock 18's,Rancho RS9000's,Keldermann dual front stabilizer,and Carli caster bushings.Standard stuff I know,but susp. work nonetheless.I finally decided to take it in for an alignment chk. when I had he tires rotated before a road trip this wknd.Normally I do this myself,but I wanted the alignment done so I had them do it.Anyway,I had the wife-OK,so SHE actually took it in-get the spec. sheet for the work performed.I've had these before on other rigs,just didn't really understand them much,just went by how the truck felt/handled.I see some guys here are pretty astute as far as wheel/tire/alignment/etc. issues,and wondered what the thoughts were on my alignment sheet.I've only diven it 3 miles to my work parking lot so far,so I don't have a seat o' the pants feel just yet.Just curious what all this might mean? AND,WTF is all this Heavy Duty,Extra Heavy Duty,Camper,AMBULANCE!? talk?
Looks like they didn't actually do anything. It was within spec when they put it on the alignment rack. The only thing that changed was the toe by three-hundredths of a degree. A butterfly might've flown past and farted to cause that minimal of a change.
Reads weird....shouldn’t these read Before, After, Specified Range?
Call me crazy but actual is what it is in the end. To me, a few variables still appear untouched or corrected to be more precise as compared to the specified range. But I read things logically and that may not be how the printout and the program outputs it in terms of wording. Reminds me of a blood work up lab analysis......this is your reading and here should be the range you fall in. Except it appears to me, they never corrected the variables outside the specified range.

Tell us more about your F-250’s stock configuration and options. Possible factory suspension options include the camper package (option code 471), snowplow package (option code 473), camper + snowplow package (option code 47B), and heavy-duty front suspension package (option code 67H). One feature all,have in common is stiffer front springs.
Did you ask for a check or a alignment? Being familiar with LesSchwab and how they do these I can explain. That sheet is just a printout of the specs, when you select the pages to print in the Hunter alignment program it gives options and this is page two without going through the alignment steps. Pay no attention to the heavy duty and ambulance designation as this is programmed into the system and is more wording then anything for tracking as there is a different charge for solid axle vehicles.

YMMV on interpreting this.
Nothing was changed because it was all within the specified range to begin with. Are you seeing something out of range?

This is what I was thinking too.The wife said they told her everything looked good,but didn't really say if they did anything.Too early for butterflies around here yet,so that wasn't it.

Well,I thought I had my window sticker on my phone,but I guess I don't.I'll have to look and see what it says about these.Just surprised to see "Ambulance" on there.

The appt. was for an alignment.They did say everything looked good,and I didn't get charged-at least I think-for a full alignment.I'll have to check my as built and see about the rest I guess.Still...good to know,thanks.

Not really sure what is/was out of range.Seems to handle fine,was just curious of opinions on how this all reads to someone more versed in this than me.

If you look at specified range and then your actual readings of what your truck is, appears to be out of the specified range on a few points. I read that printout just like I would a blood panel work up where it tells you your actual readings then what range they should fall in. Like I said, it could be just the way it is written by that program and I am off base. But it appears a few areas are not within range.
🤣🤣🤣
