Spacers are fine if you use drop brackets. Still not perfect straight on alignment, but good enough to where you cant really see it. they seem like they would be easier on everything, not straining the axle at weird angles

Are you 2wd aptennisplayer? If you are, maybe 2wds can get away with the spacer and 4wds can't because we sit lower stock and are just getting up to the normal 4x4 height

Have you thought about Cragar D-Windows? Or Procomp Rock Crawlers? They have D shaped holes instead of circular ones, and look a little more like spoke.

I always see soft 8s on Jeeps haha But never F150s

Maybe it just depends on how hard the shop is willing to work to align it. For instance one shop told me they could but wouldn't unless I bought the correction kit. However the guys at firestone(who I know) said it'd be thought but they would do it for me
