Front End alignment

New to Ford SD's and this forum, both are great.... anyway, would like to install level kit and slightly larger tires... am wondering about any problems with front end alignment after this is done. (I had a Dodge Ram lifted 3 inches and no one could ever get the front end to run straight again.) Thanks Kevin

I havent' had to get my front aligned. I do have to balance alot more it seems but doesnt cost anything with Big O so I would say it just depends on the lift and the brand....

I insalled the leveling kit from Jack It w/ 35's on 16.5 -9.75 rims. I had a reputable frontend shop check & align w/ no problems.The alignment should be pretty much straight forward.

Since our trucks use a straight axle with leaf springs, you are not changing the caster/camber when lifting the SD, you should only have to adjust your steering wheel to center.
