Wow, I get up in the morning to read this forum for comic relief (better than the old comics in the news paper).
I come from the Jeep community, 13 yrs with a jeep before transitioning to the Raptor. Also had a F150 FX4 before the raptor came out. I thought there was real jerks on those forums.
There is a shit load of negative followers on this forum. Which sucks because this is one of the better raptor forums.
Give the Op's the chance to ask their questions, whether it's dumb or not. They are looking for insight or people that have experienced the same problem.
If you have answers or suggestions provide them the Information and feedback.
Plan and simple, if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. It's a pain in the ass to read through all the negative (high school behavior) comments.

1. PSI plays a big factor.
2. Check your torque specs, any good shop would have marked the bolts with a paint marker after torquing. If not use a torque wrench.
3. is the steering wheel straight? how is the vehicle tracking?

Best of luck finding a solution.

When I did the Raptor Assault I asked the guys running the course how often they had to do alignments, because they do a lot of off road duty with a variety of skilled and unskilled drivers.

Their answer was "Never."

The stock truck is built well for off road. When you make a change, upgrade or not, that is where to look.

So general consensus is don’t do the cams?? Lol.
If it doesn’t hurt anything and it’s only an upgrade it makes sense to lock them in??

adjustment slots are just cheap they don’t represent any magical raptor engineering at all but if your alignment is never a problem you don’t need them (slot delete or adjustment cams)

Well, when the OP starts off describing how he modified the truck, then makes a completely ignorant statement like "I thought this truck was built for off road" he is asking for snarky responses.

Lighten up Francis.

I want to thank whoever resurrected this thread. I had missed it and it’s got some good laughs

Dude swaps out major suspension components, has suspension related issues and says “I thought the truck was built for this”

It’s still early but as long as I don’t tune into CNN this should be the dumbest thing I’ll see all day.

He posted a total of 5 times all in this thread and hasn't been seen since.

I smell a paid RAM / **** troll.

LOL I believe that would be me as far as the person the rezzed this thread. Totally not intentional just thought it was a good spot to ask a question as it was related to alignment. Trying to be smart with that search function, ya know?
