It shouldn't throw off your toe much if at all, but it will effect your steering center adjustment. (adjuster by the pitman arm) an easy way to get it close is (after you change your springs and shocks) loosen up that adjuster (15 mil wrench I believe) and go for a ride. Mark the position of the steering wheel while you drive on a FLAT road. (if you can find one). when you get home (or in a parking lot along the way) make sure the steering wheel is in the same spot that you marked it on your test drive.
Now go under the truck and adjust the sleeve (at the pitman arm)until the steering wheel is straight!
Works great just make sure you don't lock the column or the steering wheel won't move
