86 f150 caster / camber ?

I have an 86 f150, replaced ball joints and tie rod ends, it had 31's on it and i put 33's on. When i looked at it from the front the tires where tilted in like a v,(not straight up and down) it had #0 degree caster/camber bushings in it. I got some #2 degree bushings in it now, took the 33's off and put the 31's back on and now do I need to put the #0 degree bushings back in before I take it for and alignment.

Tire diameter should have no effect on camber.
Just leave the current 2° bushings in when you go for the alignment.

But first...
Did you drive the truck and let the suspension settle after installing the 33's?
That era TTB suspension will always sit with a ton of positive camber (tilting out at the top) after lowering the truck back to the ground at first.
(Just going back and forth in your driveway a couple times, and turning the wheels left and right while doing so should put things back in place)
