$400CDN, all in? That doesn't sound too terrible. Ya, that exchange isn't the greatest, but I've seen it worse. I think it was around '07 or so we were par for awhile, IIRC, that was nice for us border jumpers.
Where are you, down around Windsor?

 

I thought $400 was fair to still to basically have Ford do it and warranty it all, I def coulda saved some cash doing it my self but I am only home 2 days a week and mabe a night in between. I liked it when the exchange rate was par but my tax return likes it the way it is now lol.
I'm just out side Niagara Falls On

 

Oh ya, you're still driving, I don't blame ya having someone do it. Niagara Falls, I used to cross there quite a bit, sometimes Queenston on the 405, that was before I basically stopped OTR. Got more than a few hours spent at the 5th Wheel in Grimsby.

 

Ya roughly another 20 years ontop the last 15 before I can hopefully stop playing truckies lol, Ahhhh the ol 5th wheel in grimsby, sadly it closed a few years ago and is well on the way to becoming an apartment building.
I wonder if the camber kits are a 2wd thing or just the result some installation methods. Theres gotta be something, some need em some dont.. I dont get it lol. But then again I'm not sure why I got a 4 wheel alignment either lol

 

Wow, that's too bad, not enough truck parking in the more populated areas.
Ya, I'm not sure why some do and some don't. I know I had to get cambolts for my Ranger, but that has torsion bars, and I had cranked them up. Maybe @Apples could explain, he's got a good feel on suspensions.

 

4 x 25.0?

 

me thinks he ment 4x2, 5.0 lol

 

that makes perfect sense! 🤣

 

lol you shoulda seen the look on my face when I read the advance auto hooker battery... thread hahahah

 

As far as camber/caster correction hardware being needed in some cases and not in others... I think half of the "needed" aren't really needed and it is shops simply taking advantage of the customer. In other cases, the truck simply isn't "square"!

Go measure your bed, for example. The driver side will be so many inches deep, the passenger side of the box will be over 1/4" longer, or vice versa.

How centered, really, is your rear axle housing relative to the leaf springs? To the frame rails? What about the front upper control arms? Are the spring perches they attach near to also welded onto the frame in precisely the same spot on every frame? Only your Ford assembly line employee knows for sure.

One would think that in today's age of CNC/robotic measuring, cutting, welding and assembly these trucks would be square down to 1/32"... but they're not. They are assembled hastily, and assembly jigs do wear. Who knows.
