Lowered my 97 F150 4wd wheel tip in question

I just posted this in the suspension section, I thought that this might be the correct place for it?

I changed my keys to get the truck lower. I have it pretty much where I want it now. As I expected the wheels tip in, I though that I would just bring it in and let a shop align it. I was just thinking that It might be a good idea to level the wheels back upright before bringing it in. This because I dont want to be told that I now need a kit to allow more adjustment travel. It's better I find that out before going to them to align.

My question is this. On level ground should I bring the front wheels back up to dead on level? in or out a degree or so?

Please reply
Thanks

Depending on how much you lowered they may be able to adjust it. It's called negative camber BTW.

you will probably need aftermarket camber bolts to get it back into specs
