Anytime you give your truck a moderate thrashing offroad, you will need mid perch otherwise you will bottom out your skids if you plan to get after it.

I'd hustle to get it done before your trip just for peace of mind.

Hey everybody...wanted to just say I did my mid perch yesterday, I did it the RPG way, did not remove shocks from truck. This was pretty easy...now the only issue I had was when sliding up to the mid perch, the actual fox stickerwas stopping it from moving high enough to see the mid perch slot, so I had to peel the sticker up to have access to the mid perch slot.

That seems weird I did mine yesterday too the same way and mine slid right up. Maybe your sticker had a wrinkle or something.
I am leaving to go get my alignment right now.

Do you feel an alignment is needed? I really wasn't planning on it.

The sticker thing was an issue on both sides. I do have 25000 miles on the truck. Dont know if that makes a difference

It wont be significantly off but enough to warrant an alignment. My ****** spring compressors weren't big enough to compress the spring enough to do the perch mod, will have to buy another set and try again later.
