Lifting a 95 F-150 4x4

I have seen a lot of these trucks lifted and the front tires are toed in terribly. I am going to put a 4" Rancho suspension on my soon with 33" meats. What are these other guys doing that makes their tires toe in so bad? I don't wanna' do the same thing. Thanks. David.

Maybe they aren't running a drop pitman arm. Some kits don't come with it, but it is necessary to make the truck steer correctly.

Could be camber. They lean from top to bottom. Top out and bottom in. The rancho kit I'm getting has the radius arms and drop pitman arm too.

They could've just used a leveling spring and not a lift kit. Often, it's not possible, or difficult to align those.
