Jeff 1889, Can you turn your own wrenches?

If you get into a pinch Jeff, I can probably help you out. I did three of them, 1 of which was my truck, so I'm an old pro now. You'd have to buy 2 sets of Strut Spring Compressors which you can get from local parts resellers, and the we'll need about 2 hours at a house with all the right tools, which could be my place. Tim might even be willing to stop by. He's always up for beer!

Thanks guys for the offers. I can turn wrenchs but not with confidence. I'm better with a hammer (i was a carpenter) I'd rather do it with someone than just pay a shop. I want to learn and I do enjoy a beer or two. I will look into get my hands on the compressors and reach out later this week. Thanks again guys

Sounds good Jeff. I would say this is as complicated as cooking a good steak. Once you do it, you learn the tricks and it's not tough the next time. I had to get my sets from two different stores as neither had 2 sets I could buy. I just returned them when I was done and got my money back.


There are two shops near me that have done alignments on Raptors. I trust both of them. Of course you could always drive it home and have it aligned there. My truck was WAY out of Toe as was RatedSVT's when we did his.


PM me and we can chat on the phone if you like to plan this.

Well Todd let me know if you end up helping him out i wouldn't mind coming out and giving a hand in drinking some beers haha. But i will help out.
