Alignment after mid-perch, does it look right?

Now I feel have to keep the steering wheel a little to the right to keep it go straight on some roads... don't remember had to do that before.

Looks like they adjusted the toe a bit and that's all.

Did you give them specific specifications? If not, the values your truck went in with are "in spec". If you noticed in my post above, I gave them specific specs that are much, much tighter. The specs on your truck aren't too far off of that, but are still not "the best". The shop met the specified ranges.

As far as it pulling to one side, there is nothing in your read out that indicates that it is the alignment.

No, I just brought it in after mid-perch, looks like a waste of money... I will talk to them see if they can do it to your spec for an discount

Purchased the lifetime alignment deal from firestone and got it aligned this morning. Pushed them to install the camber/caster kit I purchased but they said it didn't need it and they wouldn't install it until it was necessary. The mechanic told me that ford put bigger tires on the raptor to account for the slotted LCA mounts. I just walked away.........

How do these numbers look?

I always like .5 negative on camber to keep from burning the outter edges. But I drive it like a sports car on road.

Firestone alignment after mid perch

I was considering that Firestone lifetime alignment deal, but after visiting a couple of local Firestones, I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling, I don't think they see too many Raptors.

In any case, they seem to pull the alignment values from a database. My question is, would the proper alignment values change if you've done a mid perch mod?

If so, is there any way one of these Firestone outfits can properly align a mid perched Raptor?

Out here in CA I've had them do it three times under the lifetime. I've heard others have bad experience but my shop here in Whittier works well.
