Your Raptor and It's Alignment

[CSmith]

Nothing has changed. I just took it to 4 wheel parts and he said there is not much you can do at all. When I said well maybe cam kits would help from what the guys on the forums are saying and his response is "they are just lazy". Okay whatever... so im still at -1.5 and the other side is -0.9.. he said he couldnt even get to a alignment till next week.. I feel like im dealing with a bunch of ******* retards. Only thing I can think of is UCAs but that is expensive. This guy even said maybe its cause of the fiberglass fenders... wtf.

Anyone in Austin know a non-retarded shop that WILL help me?

Damn you are maxed out. Never seen one pulled all the way in and still have that much camber. Migh be time for upper control arms.

Good upgrade, but expensive fix.
What would cause the camber to be out that much? Something wrong from the factory?

Has anyone tried opening up the slotted alignment holes? is that possible?

Could be a looser factory tolerance or a bent knuckle or upper control arm. The rubber bushings can also wear and get sloppy making things harder to align.
I don't think I'd grind the slots any wider because you might start binding the cv joints if you go in too far, or separate them if you come out too far.

Make sure we stay on topic and pick caster or camber, two very different things. Caster will not effect your tire wear. Camber will.

So what your saying is my truck is jacked? Lol. Sweet!

Well... You might go to mid perch and see what it does. How hard do you off road? What did your old tire look like? Did the fronts wear on the inside?

I go off roading every now and then, not to hardcore. Yes they wore on the inside BAD.
