Do coil spacers effect camber?
would a 1.5'' or 2'' coil spring spacer that goes on top of the coil affect camber? and if it does can you correct it enough to not eat your tires. It looks like becuase of the twin Ibeams it will drasticlly affect camber. The fron of my 2wd f150 sits so low and i would love to level it out.

Yes, any change in ride height will change your alignment settings, but with a 1.5 or 2 inch, it shouldn't be too much over stock, taking sag from age into account, and should be workable. Although I would recommend springs instead of spacers if you really want a full 2". But either way you will need to get it re-aligned.
Make sure your shocks will still have full travel.

well, it depends on if they are saged out already, which i doubt.
Raiseing the front end will effect camber with the TTB.
Get the springs. better in the long run.
If you are changeing ride height, remember, you have to get new parts to change the camber and other things to adjust and realign.

yea i just did my ball joints and aligned it and i don't want to do it again if i have to but i guess i'll have to becuase it is driving me nuts how low the frront is compared to the back. by the way are 2wd prings the same height as 4wd springs becuase jc whitney sells 1.5 inch lift coils for a 4wd which would be awesome but if 4wd springs are taller stock than 2wd then it will lift it too much.
