2" Lift Alignment

[PicoG4]

This summer (when I have money again) I want to install a 2inch f150 spacer type lift. I was wondering how far the alignment is thrown off and if it is thrown off horribly; Is there any way to half ass an alignment at home. My problem is that the nearest shop that does alignments from my location in the summer is atleast 60 miles away.

i just did it, at first the wheels looks terrible really bowed in at the bottom. but once i drove the came back out some. heres a pic of them after i drove it. also i drove it for a week before alignment and no problems.

You can drive it without an alingment, but it will eat the outside edges of the tires rapidly. I drove mine for a week before I had time to aling it.

You could save your tires and some money by buying some 2.75* camber shims ahead of time and install them when you put the spacers in. Also you can adjust the toe with a tape measure. Set the measurement at the back of the tire and the front of the tire to the same or in 1/16", either way its going to be off some so I just set it the same when I do it.
