Please pardon my ignorance... but why do you have to have your truck realigned after perch adjustment?

Thanks!

It changes the toe... What you raise the vehicle the wheels come in a bit... If you dont it will wear the tires out prematurely...

Cool, thanks.

I'll be doing the perch mod the first week I get the truck, now that I know what to set the toe-in to.

Does this apply to middle perch adjustment too?

Should... Ive been running my at middle for 1.5 years with 30k miles on it since the change...Set it to that and been great... Only thing I do is when I do my alignment I have my buddy adjust it while I sit in teh drivers seat...Gives it a straighter run on crowned roads...

Yep sure can... When its set from the factory the driver is at the wheel running the diagnosis and another guy is underneath the truck setting alignment... and I am quite **** about my steering wheel being straight
