    mine has a good amount of lean and someone told me today that it can affect my drive quality due to more drag, aerodynamics, etc etc

    how legit is this?

    1997 t4r has super duty axles, 5.13s locked front and rear. 3 link front with 14" kings. Rear 63s.
    It creates more drag on the truck thus the aerodynamics have been changed allowing more to get under the truck i would assume. I can feel head wind more then before so i would assume its right.

    Hey guys, so I took it to get an alignment today and the guy at the shop told me my tie rods are at too steep of an angle. He said I'll probably need a kit for this due to my tires going in and out during stopping and going. Anyone else expirience this?

    Mine are at a bit of an angle but wasn't told it was too much. Did you rotate them 180° & install from the top down?
    Do yours look like this?

    Should be able to just undo it & flip it. After jacking up the truck & taking the wheel off of course. Then again you may be able to do it without taking the wheel off.
