Adjusting Dirt Logic coil overs and allignment

Will adjusting the coil overs change the allignmrnt of my truck (04F150FX4). I think they still need to be preloaded more in order to get the truck level.

Today I had to crank down the drivers side a bit so it matched the passenger side, in turn I believe it somewhat leveled out the bed, the passenger rear was sit'n lower. Makes since to me.

Yes, adjusting the ride height affects the alignment. How much depends on how much you increase or lower the preload. I'd have the alignment checked.

Thanks Wandell for the quick response.

I'm wondering if the tech that did the allignment might have had to back off on the preload in order to allign the front end. I know that he had a heck of a time getting it to where it is, I'll ask him tomorrow.

Thanks again.
Chris
