Lowered my F150 4wd wheel tip in question.

Just like many of you who have raised their trucks by adjusting the torsion keys up or changing the keys to gain more lift. 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

Been done

As stated the truck is down, a 4.6 DOHC engine is in. The suspension now consists of 04 lightning leafs and 3" drop keys. The wheels have tip in condition. I believe that a camber kit is what might be needed, Maybe?

My question stands, If I were to re-adjust the front wheels, would I set them straight up or tiped in or out a degree or so? What is stock?

If you take it to a shop I don't thing a "degree or so" is going to matter

He installed torsion bar keys so he has a 4x4.
