Front End Alignment Question

The time has come for a FEA on my '04 F-150 XL. Back many moons ago, I had a '00 Ranger & the initial FEA ended up costing me around $250 because they had to install adjustable bushings.

Will this be the case with my '04 F-150? Or can I expect the usual FEA fee?

I took mine in for an alignment after the level kit install. The going rate was $69.99 at the shop. They called me about an hour later and said that the truck was a special case and required their $89.99 alignment. I don't know if this is because of the cam bolt adjustments on the A-arms or what.

Thanks. Your's being a 4x4 may have had an effect on the cost too. I just didn't want to have to pay more than the going rate because Ford went cheap on something like they did on my old Ranger.

I just paid $110 for a front end alignment at 4 wheel parts after installing my leveling kit. That was way high in my opinion but I trust them with my truck.

So do we need to buy aftermarket cam bolts to adjust Camber? I just put in my leveling kit and didn't notice any adjustments that could be made other than toe? If I need some, I would like to know so I can order some.
