[QUOTE="Kumu, post: 269072, member: 7191"] Peace If your talking about no alignment needs to be done for mid-perch, I thought the same thing, I was wrong. If you've had your Raptor less than a year you can take it to the dealer for an alignment. After hearing about this on another post I had it done, and sure enough I needed one. As for as warranty issues I had no problem, I think because everything is stock and you can't tell anything has been done unless its parked next to another Raptor that is still on bottom-perch. Like has been said many times, any suspension mod get an alignment.[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]Peace Im no suspension expert but, correct me if I'm wrong, the Raptor is a built and designed(flip them if you like D & B) high speed off road vehicle that is also an excellent daily driver. On bottom-perch would make it handle better on roads because of the low center of gravity, but this is not what this truck is designed for thats the Lightnings job. On mid-perch as was mentioned by WAC45 I too was told the Raptor was designed and tested with mid-perch so I made the change. It would seem to me when on bottom-perch your already bottomed out and on top your topped out, mid has the travel. IMO mid-perch pretty much eliminates front end dive while braking and rides excellent. Always understanding to each his/her own, may you be satisfied in whatever you choose to do:party28: [/QUOTE]
