Great explanation Stevie. One safety step I do when the tires come off is lay them underneath as a "last resort" if the jack stands or jack fails so I'm not crushed.

So if you have to make a toe in adjustment, shouldn't you split the difference on each side instead of only adjusting one side? For example, if you're 1/4" out, shouldn't you adjust each side 1/8"?

Yes, you’ll want to adjust each side evenly. I may not have shown that in this video to shorten it.

The torque spec on those tie rod sleeves is 41 foot pounds. I had an alignment shop fail to tighten mine correctly and it eventually loosened enough to where my tire flopped out to the side while driving. It was a exciting!

Did this last year. Very easy to do this on obs Fords, in my opinion....especially when compared to other vehicles, where you can't access the other end of the tie rod. The hardest part on other vehicles is trying to loosen the connection from inner to outer tie rod. So easy with these trucks. The remaining parts left to do on front of my truck are the bushings on the i-beam suspension...and replacing the suspension springs and shocks.

I have a 2wd 1996 f150 ext cab long bed with 5.8 e4od. I would love to put a lift on but they're expensive. I really just want it leveled and slightly bigger tires. I've been looking into it and it seems a lot of people don't recommend it. Especially the leveling spacers. Mainly because of camber issues and what not. I read that you can get these coil springs that are 2 inches taller and it will level it out. I need to redo my whole front end and would like to go this route. Do you know if i was to put 2 inch taller coil springs on would that give me any trouble and would i need to any of the other front end components different thans stock? Also how come you haven't dont any lifting?
@TheMinuteMasters

We essentially have the same truck aside from different engine and transmission combo. Leveling these trucks is tricky. Typically a set of leveling coils, extended shocks, and adjustable camber bushings is the best way to level these trucks out. I’ll add that you still may have positive camber. I’ve seen better leveling kits include drop brackets which would help with camber. I haven’t don’t a lift or level due to the complexity and cost. I’m converting my truck to 4x4 so I can actually by decent lift kits.

I looked at mine today, same year F150 ( 99000 miles on it ), everything seemed tight but I am wondering if my longer pass side inner tie rod is bent. My front end shakes like crazy when I hit about 25 MPH. Brand new tires on it and at first it didn't do it but after about 150 miles on the tires it started to shake again. It did the same on the previous set of tires. I am going to measure from tread to tread tomorrow and see if I am toe'd in or out. Great video but I am frustrated with this situation. Your replacement long tie rod seemed straighter than the one on my truck.

If your front end is shaking, I recommend checking all your suspension bushings, ball joints, definitely your steering, and your shocks. Any one of those components could contribute to a shake.
