Your Raptor and It's Alignment

Pep,
If you decide to do it I have a hydraulic spring compressor and air tools. I agree that removing the coilovers will be easier in the long run. Planning to do mine as soon as I get it home. Will add the camber kit at the same time.

Hey 'Bolt, that is a very generous offer, I am on the fence for sure right now.
A good friend of mine owns A-N-T tire and he lets me use his rack but I don't always feel comfortable taking up space in his shop so I just may hit you up. BTW, if you have spent much time at PIR you may have seen them out there, Trackside is their gig, doing slicks and so forth on race days.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

I have used them at PIR years ago. I mostly used Warren the Good Year guy as I was under contract with GY. Haven't been a regular at PIR in quite a few years. We likely know some of the same people.

No worries on the perch change. Open offer. I haven't done a Raptor yet but have done a bunch of Toyotas with coilovers. Can't be much different. It's an easy DIY so I hate to see someone pay to have it done.

Really good write up, I have done many alignments on drag car chassis & still learned some.

Seriously, thank you. I just stuffed the front a little and had it aliened but still goes left a little. now i have half a chance talking withe the alignment guy

Any feedback on if this kept your alignment from moving after some off road fun? I have only done 100 miles off road and have noticed that my steering wheel is off center. Need a more robust way of maintaining my alignment.

Comments/suggestions?

I feel the camber/caster kit does help keep the lower control arm adjustments in place. So far since installing them, every time I knock my alignment out, just the toe is out, unlike before where the arms had always moved. My next step is tie rod up grades like Outlaw sells.
