If you can, that's cool. If not, that cool, also. I am kind of asking a lot.

I really appreciate your time. Between You, this forum, and YouTube, I'm starting to understand what's going on. I've been in contact with the shop that would do the work. I'm making progress.

So just an FYI, Ihad my buddy do the alignment and a few recalls, truck drives better and no shaking. Super happy.

He said the right side was off the most. e0510aba877fa95b0cf410b2e31bb4a0.jpg

I installed the 5100's Tuesday which was a bit of a fight, and rear spacers/bags on Wednesday. I took it in for an alignment yesterday and the guy said the drivers side was more out, but adjusted both.

Anyway, walking up to my truck this morning after getting out of work, it seems the wheels 'tilt' more when at full lock than they did before, or I just never noticed. Is this my imagination?
My 2002 F150 did that stock, as well.

If wider tires, yeah they will.

Its close and in the green but still could be better . Caster on the right side should be higher than the drivers side . On straight axles its built in but on an independent it has to be adjusted in . Its not a lot but yours are actually the opposite having larger amount of caster on the drivers side . You can also see it in the specified range section the values on the right side allowances are higher . It has to do with the crown of the road from what I understand. Its such a wide range for caster you could have it really backwards and still in the green .
