Adjust the TOE??

I just purchased an autospring 2" lift. From what I've been reading I will need to adjust the toe? I got under there and didnt see and clear way of doing that. I will be doing this on my 4x4 and my buddies 4x2 (both 2004 f-150). Any help? THANKS!

I put the 2in Autpspring on my truck. You will need to take and get the toe adjusted. Cost me $35. 20,000 miles later no abnormal tire wear. Personnally I think my truck rides better. It's an 04 FX4 screw cab......

I need to know!

Thanks for the replies, I understand that taking to get an alignment for $20 is the way to go. But I need options! Here in OHIO the cheapest 4x4 alignment I can find, (even after I tell them I only want "toe") is closer to $55.

Under the front of the truck the bottom of the steel frame (right where the aluminum A frame attaches) looks to have slotted holes. Which would allow you to adjust the aluminum "A arm" in or out!?? (toe)

Anyone who knows for sure, please help.

Thanks for the reply......... I was confused (NOT THE FIRST TIME) I was thinking that (toe was camber). Looks like adjusting the tie rod ends will adjust "toe" back to where I want! Thanks for all the HELP!

Toe should be simple!

(adjusting camber looks like a B-otch)

I found a great link at TIRERACK.....
