Default Alignment specs.

Anybody have the alignment specs for a 2012 F150 screw 4x4 with 6.5 box?

I just installed my HBS leveling kit in my truck today, went to do an alignment and the alignment specs after the kit was bang on for what my new alignment machine has, newest year is a 2011 in the machine, cant see why there would be any changes from a 2011. Cant believe that the alignment was in spec, even toe. When I did my Dodge the alignment was way out of whack. Unless this truck had screwed up Alignment from factory, but I should have had whacky tire wear!!!!!



Anyways mod 1 done, cant wait for the snow and crap to go so I can put my new tires and wheels on.

Yep, your truck was out from the factory. Mine was too. Most of them are. The GMs used to be real bad about that. Pretty normal for the specs to come in on your F150. I'm about 99% sure the specs are the same as 2011.

My 13 was out. The shop installed adjustment cams and set it to track perfectly. Cost about $200 dollars for cams and alignment but I run around 30000 miles a year so I need to get every mile out of my tires.

Crazy, I have never seen that before, except for the time I did a 6'' lift on a 3500 dodge and eyeballed the settings and it was perfect, happened only once, but it was awesome!!!

Thats what's nice on a solid axle vehicle. You can lift them and the only thing that will usually change (if any) is caster.

The dealer that did my alignment didn't want to do cams because the camber and caster were "in spec". Only toe was out. I do plan on doing cams when I level and get new tires. I did alignments for about 9 years at my former job. It drives me nuts to have someone else do them now.
