I don't even know if I want these idiots ever touching my truck again, but I am not paying for someone else's mistake. The truck drove fine at first, but now it's starting to get shakey at high speeds... and when braking. At times it'll pull to the right... yet sometimes it's hard making turns. I am beyond mad now. Sorry for the whining... but I need to vent.

I would take it to someone that specialize's in alignment, then get the body shop to pay the bill!!

La
It does look Gooooooooooooooood
But as said, holy Camber Batman, that aint even close to before
And a little FYI
When I dropped mine last week, it also NOW pulls to the right, and it looks like yours now
I already spoke to someone and will be getting it re-aligned soon
AND BTW
It's ok to complain when you DO HAVE something to complain about
(I just always do)

Alignment looks like it may be off... Yes; but, the passenger side wheel looks to be set about 1 inch deeper into the wheel well than the driver's side. Hopefully that is a trick of the camera.
I'd be pissed, too!

After my accident last fall my truck has to go back to the body shop because the front bumper is slightly crooked, lower grill is crooked and their is a vibration at 60-70 MPH. I made sure I talked to the owner and that he will be there on Thursday to go over the discrepancies. Just be firm yet polite outlining the problems and they must be remedied.
I do think for some reason the Lightnings are hard to align. Ive had Ford do it, a tire place do it, the place that put my Rouch kit in do it and the body shop do it and its never been perfect.

Hey Leann, you're not alone...mine is gonna have to visit the body shop too...
I had a little, um, "fender bender" on the way home from work today. It looks like it's gonna need a new hood, grille and bumper cover, and maybe the lower grille. I guess now is the time to change to the HD grille since the insurance will be paying the bills.
