Your Raptor and It's Alignment

[Csavidge01]

OP: those are pretty detailed adjustments, the F150 Kit looks like a great addition to ensure the adjustments are back in spec.

The legend returns! Welcome back, and what great timing. I am getting an alignment done this Friday, actually.

You are definitely right about hard braking being what knocks it out...all my offroading doesn't phase the truck, but having to slam on my brakes on the road has knocked me out again.

I have a few questions if I may take advantage of your knowledge. I assume getting correct specs outside of using a machine is pretty much impossible, right, so no DIY? Is tack welding to lock in the alignment a bad idea or should I just get the cam kit and mark it? Finally, what should I have the camber bolts and toe nuts torqued to?

Thanks for all the info you've shared, it has been very helpful.

Opinion?
This was after installation of Fox 3.0 shocks and Camburg Kinetic UCA’s

low perch w/ eibachs. Couldnt do any better than -1.5 camber. Factory UCAs.

I previously bought heim UCAs on my last vehicle to be able to adjust my alignment and lock it is. There should be enough adjustment in a heim UCA to correct my camber, right? Before i spend the money i figured i'd ask.

Only things I know to check on these smaller trucks is your spring/shackle bushings and to make sure your spring center bolts are in the same position on both sides of the axle.
