I read here on one of the threads to be sure to have the front end aligned. Apparently the factory does a generic alignment and this does not take into consideration the final chassis weight.
There's no way Ford (or Chevy or whomever makes an incomplete vehicle chassis) could possibly know the weight of what will be added by the people that buy it. Their factory alignment rather has to be a generic alignment. It may well be based on the chassis weight, for all I know, but the finished vehicle weight and balance are quite different from that of the chassis as Ford delivers it, by a few tons in the case of one that eventually becomes a motorhome.
