    i'm not really familiar on the gen 3's suspension setups, or the AWD at all, but is there a camber bolt set for getting the alignment into spec like the Gen 1 trucks use?

    yep, there's a camber kit for the 04+ trucks. $35 for a pair of heavy duty bolts from NDEBT or Bigbill. I needed two sets for the 2 / 5 drop

    what I meant jesse is that the alignment adjustment on the 04+ f150s is only via 1 cam bolt, on the lower control arm. - vs - the 2 cam bolts on the upper control arm for the older style (97-03).

    nice pics by the way. Sucks about the snow. Hard tonneau would probably bring the rear end down a good amount if you don't really feel like messing with the suspension anymore.

    Here's a pic of my 08 with the DJM 3.5/5 kit with the lifting hangers. Aligned by local Ford dealer.

    just gotta post up this pic of my GF 2/5 drop. truckpilot , you said you have "lifting" hangers. since with a 5" rear drop, your truck looks more like a 4" drop now. i thought there was a bit too much rear gap.

    Indeed there are lifting hangers on the DJM set up, installing the kit without them drops the truck about 7" (because of stock setup lifting block) and the truck would bottom out on the bump stops on every little dip in the road.
    It's probably the angle of the pic that makes it look higher than yours, nice truck BTW.
    I'll measure the ride height when I get back in town and the snow has gone. I'm guessing around 34" (plus or minus) with the 22" rims
    Mine is AWD which comes with the 4X4 suspension set up which might make a difference.
