Default front tire lean

hello everyone im new to the ford world and need some advise before i just go buying parts. i have a 94 f150 single cab 4x4 4.9l with a 4'' rough country lift and 35x12.5x15 at's with that said i have some front tire lean. i jacked it up put a pry bar under the front tire and lifted to see if thier was any play in the wheel berrings or in the ball joints thier is little to none. soooo my next guess is shocks and springs? can anyone give me advice or have the same problem???? thanks glenn

From my experience and research these ttb axles under these trucks cause tires to bow at the top whn lifted. I would take it for an alignment and see if tht helps. How severe is it?
