Your Raptor and It's Alignment

[ZBoater]

Do you know if they went by what the computer said or find they have to deviate from that?

I had Firestone do the mid perch. They rarely see Raptors but the manager and tech watched the RPG video. Then they aligned it using the specs I provided from FRF. Been there one more time (2 weeks later) after they did it since TRR and they asked me for the specs again and did it accordingly.

Ok, great. So they'll do it to specs you provide. I guess I'll have to visit my local Firestone again to see if they're willing to do that for me.

If you want to learn anything about alignments, check out Pirate Air's thread http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f9/your-raptor-its-alignment-539/.
But, yes, Firestone should be fine and lifetime is Awesome.

Yeah, I read that thread and all it's... tangents. But I can't seem to find optimal settings. Only opinions and preferences for personal styles of driving. I hope this doesn't turn into another tire selection thing. I don't think I can take it...

Maybe you should 'rap' with Krazy House Customs ~ they know Raptors
and KHC is a supporting vender here

Firestone uses the same database that the dealer or anyone else would use. I took mine to Firestone last week and got the lifetime service. The manager said they had never worked on a Raptor. I asked if they had aligned F150's and he said yes. I told him the Raptors are the same, just slightly different specs. No problems with the alignment.

So does anyone have to spec to get aligment after mid perch?

I have had mine done here by Firestone around once a month.

From what I read in the Alignment thread, most run these specs.

Caster 4.0 - 4.3
Camber -0.2 - -0.4
Toe .10 - .12
Total Toe .20 - .25

Works for both stock and mid perch.
