When you lower a vehicle is when the tires lean in. That's why you get camber plates. When you raise a vehicle you get toe in and camber out. But I don't think they make camber plates for f150s do they?

These trucks use adjustable camber bushings on the upper ball joint to adjust it. At least that's how it goes on a 4wd so I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess 2wd is the same deal

Yeap. I knew camber bushings were used on both 4wd and 2wd. Just wondering about the camber plates.
