I went to have my alignment done and everything is in the green but, in order to get it completely right I was told that I needed to shorten my inner and outer tie rod ends. I have heard something about the F-150 tie rods being shorter and that they work. I'm just looking for my options. If I have to cut them I will. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I used endlinks for an 08 f150 for the front dwayvbar and ended up having to have my tie rods shortened to get my truck to align decent after lowering.

I did, had the shop that did the alignment do it. 300 bucks but worth it. The important parts were in green, the others were not in spec, but not a huge amount off

abouttobeglue, all of my numbers are in the green. It isn't off by much. I'm going to watch my tire wear and if it gets crazy I'll have it all done. For now it drives like my Pontiac G8 GT did which is awesome! Thank you for the information sir.

You're welcome, buddy, glad to be able to help. I had a bunch of help from people on here when I lowered my truck on sorting issues out. Post a pic of how yours turned out. Here's mine

What does the f150 tie rod end have to offer? It sounds like it shorter overall but I searched with no solid answer.

It puts the sway bar where it needs to be with a 2 inch lowering up front. Heres mine installed15600023662066476256287836146814.jpg

I'm not sure if my truck had those done. I need to check. I bought it with the 2/4 drop already on it. I'm wanting to go 1 more inch lower up front so I'm going to research this more
