I was told this week that if I increase to 2nd perch I will need an alignment afterwards. Is this correct? Not understanding exactly why you would need to.:think:

Yes u need an alignment, unless you don't care about your tires or anything else. I would suggest getting a camber bolt kit also. Their are a ton of previous posts on this subject also.

It's primarily gonna effect your toe and like stated create a bad wear pattern if you don't fix it.

Im assuming you're referring to this, correct?

Ford Raptor Alignment Cam Kit

And did you install the kit yourself, or have the shop do it while doing the alignment?

Because you are changing the physical ride height camber and tow are both affected. We recommend that you check and reset to correct specs. Not all the time do you have to change the cams. ~Sara~
