I own a 1993 Ford Exploder with a four inch rough country suspension lift on it. I am currently running 33 inch super swampers. Well, the low down is that the wheels will either toe in or toe out when I park it in the dirt driveway. I am looking for someone who can give me a lowdown on front suspension setups. I only know about shocks, coils(springs) and the sway bar that my tires hit if I turn the wheel all the way in either direction. Thanks.

Hey man, check out my useful TTB thread in my sig line. There is a section on alignment. It's also a sticky in this forum.
 






Have you checked your wheel bearings recently ?
 






Wood, thank you. That list was very helpful. As I am new at dealing with this type of front suspension. I do believe that I need a dropped pitman arm but I will look at it later this week.
Bruce, I believe my wheel bearings are fine but I do have to check them. Currently I am focusing on getting my truck to pass inspection so that I can register it. My registration is currently suspended pending an inspection to say it is highway safe. It was WIA after a 15 foot jump..... Poor thing has been sitting for 6 months now.
 






I dare to say it could use a good old fashion alignment. I know when a buddy of mine lifted his rig it would be toe in or out depending on whether he was rolling forward or backward after he parked it. A toe alignment solved that, however, camber is a whole other monster...
