Question 1991 leveling kit problem?

I just installed a leveling kit on my F150 4X4. It was simply installing 2" coil spring spacers underneath the front coil springs. The installation went fine, but the tires look way out of wack when the truck was lowered back on the ground. That is, the front tires are not sitting vertical; the bottom of the tires point inward toward each other. Will an alignment fix this or do I have a problem on my hands?

roll the truck foward 10 feet to settle the suspension the outer edges get "caught" as you lower the vehicle ( especcially on cement) but after that they still wont be perfect. you just have to have the camber realigned

You are probably still going to have a problem aligning it. I put a 2.5" lift kit under mine including axle drop brackets and I still cannot get it perfect. Even with the adjustable camber bushings. Without axle drop brackets you might have a problem. Some people do some don't. Take it to the front end shop and see what they say.
