It is a common characteristic of the ford ttb. It becomes more pronounced when the front coils start to sag. When you are driving the front automatically lifts up and follows the proper alignment.

once you start to drive the wheels are strait up and theres no lift installed on the front . but the back has 2 ince. lifter blockes

I suspect your coils are are probably sagging. The rear probably has blocks to make up for sagging springs as well.

TTB is a funky suspension to begin with. If any bushings, wheel bearings, tie rod ends, ball joints etc are work, the camber can change pretty drastically.

would 1.5 ince spring blocks get rid of the wheel tip it look bad siting there in drive way.

They would probably to much. It would effect the way it drives. Aslong as it isn't eating tires I wouldn't worry. Just tell people that is how your ford offroad racing suspension is supposed to sit.

I think you should try to identify the worn part and replace it. Any kind of block would just be covering up the real problem.

If its your front springs sagging, go to the boneyard and get a set. See if that is your problem.

If they are toed in to far they will angle in at the top also. Since you are not eating tires I would say it is the springs. The lift kit will be a lot more work than just the springs but it is worth it. Be sure to put some kind of J-hook at the top to keep the spring from falling out of the bucket at articlation. Lift kits tend to give you longer shocks that allow this situation. After two or three drop outs on the trail you will see what I mean.

how hard is it to put springs in the front, 2hr job

to just put the springs in you are about right. but to put a lift on plan for a weekend. there are alot of riviots that need to be removed.
