Having trouble finding the Cams on your site. Can you please send a link?

Just to follow up with my orginal post... $260 top and alignment..
Toe was the only thing knocked out of wack... -0.70 left -0.25 right everything else was good!

This is the way it should have came from the factory!

I love it!

No more nose dives while stopping or funny car front end when getting on it. A little harsher ride but well worth it.. No rubbing witg my negative offset... Bonus

Why was the ride affected? You didn't change springs did you?

 

[Squatting Dog]

There is more preload (spring is compressed more) on the shocks at top notch. Translating into higher front end and more road feel. Still cushy ride.. Instead of fresh marshmellow now it is like a day old marshmellow.. Lol

Besides wheels and tires, top perch best mod for the money!

Looks good. I agree the ride isn't bad at all on the top perch.

Alright, Specialty products company has an install vid on youtube for the F150. It's the same for the Raptor. This makes my life easy lol

You could do it the same way without a lift, just use jack stands.

At 38 second mark where it says to "adjust vehicle height so bolt moves freely", if you have the tires completely off the ground you can have a friend move the arm by pushing in or out on the tire and holding it into position while you tighten the bolt.

Yep that makes it crystal clear!

Following up....

The Raptor was meant to have a nose up attitude! Top perch is perfect! Once I get the lazy rear end from skipping, it will be perfect!

Money well spent!
