If you don't like the thrust angle you could lubercate it with a lick. It might help

Wiz is serenading that beast before he gets his thrust angle into alignment. If he would have had Icon arms it would have been much easier to get that thrust alignment in spec. I saw Icons arms work in person...all I know is Special Ed was thoroughly impressed!!

New Tires and Wheels and after TRR I needed an alignment. Easier said than done.
Local PepBoys Auto Shop had the equipment and size to do it. Here are their results.

1st try took only 30 minutes, but it pulled to the right as soon as I drove off.
2nd try took about an hour. He says there must be something wrong with my Rack since the machine keeps moving. It seems to steer straight now, but I am a bit over sensitive and will give it some time on the highway to really test it.
I have a suspension that I will need to find another shop that is Raptor Friendly to set it right.

Results below. Let me know what the vast brain-trust here thinks.

If you ever get to the DFW area Mikes Off Road have been doing mine ever since they got the new building about 10 years ago.. The Raptor has had two times on the machine and it is perfect. My 37's wear perfectly and tracking is perfect---you do have a point that you need to take it to someone who knows what the hell they are doing..
