Setting Camber Angle
I just put donor coil springs on the front of my truck. Now the front tires tip out very BAD at the top...does anyone know how to set the camber angle on these trucks???

Setting Camber Angle
How far out is it? If it's not too bad a good alignment shop can fix it, but it involves heating up and bending the I-beams since there is no camber adjustments on those trucks. You might try finding someone in your area that can do it and just take it to them and see what they think.

Take it to a GOOD alignment shop.
Some place that JUST does alignments,otherwise some yahoo wil screw it up.
They will have a hyraulic bending machine to bend your I-Beams.

Amen,
Don't let anyone near your I-beams with
a torch.Ask first and if the alignment shop
says thats what they do haul butt away from
them.Your local Ford dealer might help or
any shop dealing in heavy trucks.Once set
correctly those beams will hold their alignment
till the cows come home.I had a 66 F100 in
high school and the abuse a teenager put
on that truck made MR Majestic's antics
look tame.Never had a problem with the front
end.
