Do they just not have an alignment rack, or is it cause the tires stick off about 2 inches on both sides?

Wow, are their alignment guys new off the street? Any alignment rack worth it's weight in salt has adjustable lasers capable of checking any vehicle that will fit between the posts

What city if the Firestone? I'm trying to get their lifetime alignment for 160. But they were not sure if it fit in their rack here in Downey, CA

The rack itself is probably too narrow to fit the raptor on, not the heads. I know both of our hunters we used were tight with my truck.

Yeah, I've had mine on a rack and the tires stuck off over 2 inches on both sides, but I was still able to do the alignment check on it, from what he said it sounded like the truck fit on the rack, but their alignment machine wasn't capable of adjusting to check the alignment

Just went to the Firestone 10 min away and got it done. Called him and told him the one next door couldn't do it and he laughed and said he had done several Raptors after perch adjustment on his machine and that it's the same machine. Finished in 30min. Lifetime adjustment for 169 out the door. He said beat it up all I want and bring it in he doesn't care.
