Perch Mod vs Leveling Kit Discussion

[whtrapta]

So does any one know about what it should cost to do the perch mod?

Can be free if you do it yourself. Shops are all different prices. Go to auto zone, rent a spring compressor for $50 (fully refundable when returned) and your set.

But don't you need to do an alignment after you do it?

Yeah you should get one. Firestone $150 lifetime of the truck. I've had like 5 on mine...

So after looking at the instructions I can't see why u need an alignment ? Is it because it changes the ride height?

Just had mine done last week and paid $250 all in at my dealership. That included full alignment and headlight adjusting. Truck handles WAY better and actually looks right now.

Yes ride height.

Only adjustment that mine actually needed due to the adjustment was the toe was off a little - ewverything else was still within specs

Within "spec" is kinda like the generic oil at the stop and go gas station. It might be the right weight and API rating but that doesn't mean everyone should use it...

THey did a complete alignment but really the only they needed to adjust was toe - why is that weird?

I spoke to another dealership who had done 3 Raptors and they said the same thing?
