Meh, I would not go there but most likely that is the case. Being that I am starting from scratch I went ahead and got the camber kits so that I would not have to do this with the IFS under the truck. I purchased the SPC camber kit here (does both sides):

there are times when tbe flags need removed but the spc camber bolts not needed. factory tolerance is pretty wide for aligning, but doesn't mean it wont cause inner tire wear. an issue since the beginning of tbe car. and carfixers specs might need removal of flags. every car is different

It's been my experience that the flags do need to be removed as there is very little "meat" for a socket or wrench to grab on to with the flags on.

Without removing them it is a valid excuse to get it “as close as he could”. If they even bother telling you..
Take them off lowered or not, zero excuses for not enough adjustment. Because yes, there is much more adjustability once they are removed.
Remember, most of these cars left the factory eating the inside rubber. Add to that a fifteen year old car now. Like it or not, your car is indeed lowered..

My suggestion:
Let a good Ford dealer do this, see where you are now and see what the recommendation is. These are tough taxi/fleet cars, plenty of curb jumping, wrecks and high speed maneuvers are built into the design. Apple Ford is one I'd try, Koons Ford on Security is OK there are others near you.

Update:
The ford dealer did the alignment with no issues. Said he got as close as he could. Looks close to me. He did have to remove the flags. Attached is a picture of the flag removed. I didn't realize that offset washer was behind it. Also attached are the final alignment specs. Seems to drive well.
What do you think?
