Doing the midperch this weekend. On the alignment, New tires and rims next year. But set the alignment to the factory settings? Just want to double check.

I kinda wish that I did not do the mid perch because within 6 months of owning mine, I went with 3.0's so the money I spent on midding was a waste plus I paid too much.

How do you know you're on mid perch?

Anyone know the exact measurements from top of stock tire to top of the wheel well on mid perch ? I would like to think I would know by just looking at it but just wanted to make sure.

measurements will vary depending on spring condition, bumper weight and other factors. look at your shockif you see a ring like this, you are on mid.

Look at the shock and if you see 1 ring under the perch you'r on mid 2 rings top perch.

Is there any issues with traction control and whatnot when going to mid/high? Will it void your warranty? it looks easy enough to do, if I ever get the winch installed I'm going to have to do it at least in the front I'd assume.

There is an issue with tearing up axles going on top perch with the 2012 and up. Ford has a tsb saying that the shocks are not adjustable but most dealers have know idea.

sorry got another dumb question, do you have to realign the vehicle if you move to mid?

Ford does state that you void the warranty if the shocks are altered/modded, but there are a lot of dealers who don't know what to look for, and yes alignment is needed after perch adjustment.
Also when they state voided, you only void the warranty on the part altered or modded, not anything else. The only way for anything else to be voided, is if it is in direct relation to the items that were modded or altered.
