Front lift alignment question

For those of you that put on an Autospring, Daystar or any other lift on the front and had an alignment done, did you have to buy any kind of a cam bolts to do the alignment? Is there any adjustment with the stock setup?

I used the Daystar. The only thing out of spec on mine was the toe. Seems like most people have said the same thing. By angling the tie rod end down makes it get shorter, causing the tires to be pulled inward.

I just had my daystar installed two weeks ago. I haven't got it aligned yet. I don't forsee the alignment being to far out of spec, the toe would probably be moreso.

I will let you know.

You should get it aligned. I installed the 2" spacers and my toe was off by a full 1/4" on both sides.

The cam bolts are needed only if the camber needs to be reset as ford did not include them with the vehicle.
