Then you didn't get an alignment, thats whats called being ripped off by a no talent shop without a button on the computer for the IFS camber/caster needs.

Its been a whole bunch of years and I realize the original twin eye beams with king pins have been replaced with the ball joint version. Doing alignments is something very critical or its going to be a costly tire replacemnt program. Check out the credentials of the shops, I would recommend a large truck type facility, you know eighteen wheeler stuff. Ask them if they can handle your little F150?

I grant you, this is 30 years ago when I worked dealerships, but they struggled to bend the twin eye beam/king pin versions, I took my 73 F250 to the largest Ford truck dealer in Los Angeles, Ca., he bent my axles like it was butter. My point is, use the guys that do alignments only, not a tire store that sells tires first and alignments second. Bottom line, you get what you pay for.
