Raising Front End

2001 F-150 4x4 Lariat 7700 pkg.

Hello everyone! Tightened my torsion bars to give my truck an almost level look.There's probably only about one turn left on the bolts. Measured from level ground,with equally inflated tires. Looks pretty good.Took in this morning for an alignment,they phoned me and said, my camber is within limits. Is that possible? They said,the camber is 1/2 degree positive on one side and 1/2 degree negative on the other side. But should be o.k. If iwant it perfect,I need a camber kit. Do you think its o.k. to leave as is? Thanks!

op to you. my t-bars were maxed and they still got it aligned perfectly without a camber kit.

are they going to warranty the alignment? If so then you can take it see if theres any abnormal wear on the tires if everything seems fine in a month or so then you will be good

Im not a wrench by any means.....So, if the T-bars get cranked, it will throw off the alignment? I thought about doing that but I dont want to mess with my perfect alignment...

yes anytime you adjust the torsion bars you will need an alignment
