They use it to bring your truck back into alignment. Let them do while the truck is on the alignment machine. I have never put shims on a newer F150. Take it to another shop to see if they recommened the same thing.

I'm assuming he's telling you this as an excuse why the truck won't drive straight.
No shims, there's an alignment cam kit that must be installed to even do the caster and camber on our trucks. Otherwise all he has done is your toe. Take it back and get your money back.
