Some members (very, very few) have needed camber kits to get their alignment within specs.

Think that is the case. Been bored today and surfing around. Think they thought i had one of those big kits instead of just the 2 inch AS spacer kind. Will find out next week when i take it in.

Called them up today because i was expecting everything to be in today. Thats what they told me. Asked them again about the cam kit, and they said that yes it is needed with the 2" AS level kit i have. They said Ford F-150's with leveling kits dont hold their alignments as well as other trucks ( ). So the piece isnt a must to align it, but is to keep it their.

Whatever, not that big a deal i suppose. Kit was like $140(for 2 freaking bolts!! ) but if it helps the tires last long, so be it. Got the wheels almost $250 off their listed price so cant complain.

Parts are supposed to be in friday now. We'll see.

Sounds like BS to me. Camber bolts won't help "hold" and alignment, they only alow the camber to be adjusted. Also, they are about $40 at most parts stores. Check Advance Auto, Pep Boy's or Auto Zone's websites.

Cool, but wow. Thought Advance Auto parts was a pretty popular store. Closest store is 89 miles away.

I'll see if i can find a different store around here that has them instock.
