Looks like a proper raptor now. Can’t thank @jdm_sixtwo enough for hitting snooze so I could have these.

Started working at a shop that does alignments which is great because I got a free one from it. Does 6 degrees of positive caster seem bad to yall? Boss has a gen2 and said 6 degrees was fine. I have gen2 shocks and 2-4” length upgraded control arms. Also need ready to switch up wheels and tires cause I found a good deal. So if anyone wants some fuel trophies and worn out All Countries I’ve got em. Need to sell to pay for new set.

This thread will tell you all you need to know about the alignment for G1 Raptor https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/your-raptor-and-its-alignment.539/
I've been using his recomended settings for 10+ years.

I already went through that thread and the most positive caster I saw recommended was 4.5 degrees positive. Wasn’t sure if 6 seemed like it needed adjustment since the suspension is an uncommon setup with the freedom control arms and all

Running 5-6 will give you a heavier feel in steering but wont hurt anything.
Better straight-line stability as well.

Higher than stock caster alignment settings

From reading around on here, at least a few of you are running much higher than factory specified caster. For those running 5-6 degrees (or more?), have you noticed much additional stress on the pump or rack due to the extra steering weight? Do you need adjustable UCAs to add in this much...

I spent hours a couple of nights ago going through every thread I could find about onboard CO2. Today I purchased what I hope I need to use my tank and regulator. Today’s purchase includes a hose, a pack of couplers and an inflator with gauge.

and a co2 machine. so you can fill your tank in the middle of the desert when you find the tank is empty.

That’s when the 12v pump will have to come out and I’ll air up the slow way.

Changed 16 plugs, wires and coils last week. NOT fun. VERY time consuming. Spent 2-1/2 days doing it. Had a broken coil boot on on of the back ones on top, took 2 days ******** around with it before @Gumby finally came over and took over the ******** around duties. Still took 90 minutes to get that dang thing out of there. Then took 2 hours to do the bottom 8. Personally, I found the bottom ones much easier to do than the tops. Tip for the top ones.....Disconnect wires on coil BEFORE removing, then rotate coil on plug 360-degrees, or even 720-degrees before trying to pull off. This should prevent any sticking of bottom of coil boot to the top of plug.

Used FOMOCO coils, NKG plugs and Carquest Premium spark plugs wires. Truck runs like it's brand new!
