You can't align the rearend. No way to toe, camber or caster. If something mechanical failed and the coach crab walks it just needs to be put parallel to the front axle.

Bushings in links play a role primarily for pinion angle. If its crabbing they would be changed first on my rig. Would also say to do all of them including the front end.

I changed all the bushings on my rear  and front axles and the shop recommended to do an alignment just to be sure .
went to the shop and they could not find foretravel  in their database.
then they pulled some Ford specs and did it that way.

that is way was wondering if there were any spec for this

If they had lifted the dash over the steering wheel the specs are written there.

Guess they figured Ford was close to Foretravel in the alphabet so specs should be close to the same.

Let's hope they chose a Ford truck that uses the same front axle Foretravel chose to use.  The numbers go with the axle, not so much the vehicle in which the axle is mounted.
