Front Tires Toe Out

I appear to be having a problem with the front end on my truck a 1996 F-250 4x4... I think.. My front tires (sitting on level ground) appear like this from the front /----\. I've seen this on more Ford pickup as well. From behind the wheel it doesn't feel like I have any problems aside from a slight pull to the left. But I can't help but think that something, somewhere is off in the front suspension. Does anyone have any ideas simple to complicated as to the cause of this problem and possibly how to fix it? Thank you in advance for the help.

Take it to a front end shop if it bothers you. Don't do it yourself unless you know what your doing.

weak springs and /or worn ball joints cause this
this is a negative camber problem

It's normal on an IDS front end... it's really exaggerated if you back up before you park. You can take it to a front-end shop and they can align it and take your money, but the first time you use reverse it'll do the same thing again.
