Just thought I'd add my 2 cents..
My Fx4 is a street queen.. but I don't like the stock camber, nor do I like the rake of the whole truck in stock form. Even when I load up the boat (19ft bowrider) it sinks the rear end by 1".. and the truck still has a fwd rake to it!
So I've been playing a little to find the spot Im happy with. So far I've gone 1 full turn which has taken out 75% of the camber.. but still a little is noticable. Next time I load the boat I'll re-evaluate and see if I want to go more. Most likely I'll settle on something in the 1.5 to 2 turn area.
Even at 1 round of turn I am noticing a little stiffer ride. Not too shabby IMO.

Depending on the T-bars rating, and what tires you have, you may or mat-not have an alignment issue.
Everyones ' wear ' is different, no 2 trucks are the same.
Be safe and avoid any tire wear, have your alignment checked regardless.
From the factory, our trucks camber CAN be different. One good pothole or a launch or a 4x4 outing can move things just a ' little bit '. By tightening or loostening that torsion key, the little bit of movement is multiplied in the distance from the original/initial position.
Its a trig problem I played with while lowering my truck ( Lowering and lifting involve the SAME math ).
