Lift and alignment
I bought a set of spacers that go under the front coil springs to lift the front of my 86 4x4 f-150 2 inches. I know that by putting these in i will affect my alignment. I'm worried about getting the camber/caster back in spec, but i don't believe there is any adjustment for this on the ttb front axle. What has to be done to correct the camber/caster, I know some alignment shops would bend i beams, but i have heard that no one would probably do it anymore. Any one know of any remidies for this or any alignment shops around northern VA that could help me? Thanks.

Take it to a good alignment shop. They will install camber adjusters on the upper ball joints to correct this.
2" of lift is the maximum you can go and still correct the camber. Any more and longer IFS pivot brackets must be installed!
