    Also, you have large oversized tires they're gonna grab the ruts and pull you around no matter how good your alignment is.

    So true...
    I almost crapped my pants when I switched from 31 10.5's to 33 12.5's.

    But my steering rack bushing are getting replaced next week...

    I had mine aligned at the alignment center of alaska for like 110?

    I thought my truck was out of whack the other day driving the Glenn. I noticed a hour or so later when I was back on decent roads it had straightened back out. I had to hold the steering wheel a couple degrees off center and was pissed my alignment was out driving down the highway! That was always my first clue my alignment was out when I wheeled the taco hard, if you constantly hold the wheel off center to drive straight. The veering to one side when you let go is usually just the nature of tires, lift, ruts and the highway grade.

    After alignment I would always check the cam tabs and torque them down pretty good and tight just to help keep it aligned better

    Theres always the option of the total chaos cam tab gussets too, those make a big difference. I'll check with AK spring on what we can do for you bud, I gave you your soec sheet didn't I? If I'm remembering yours correctly it was in spec when it left :notsure: Try finding some really flat road. They just paved lake otis if youre in town. Theres also some sweet jumps right around the corner from my house. Thats right, my truck may be a pig but she gets airborn.

    I never tire of that video, and I know full well your raptor won't stay stock for long Kyle, you'll be clearing 80 footers in no time! :p

    It was pretty in spec so maybe it's just my tires, I know it'll never be totally perfect especially with tires like that, and i do need to find some flat road, Eagle River has like none

    With both camber and toe being the same on the left and right tires your truck will track straight on a flat road, but almost all roads are crowned to prevent runoff. Since they slope from left to right, your truck pulls left to right.

    My truck likes to "dance" in the ruts on the way to ER from anchorage. not so bad the other way. the lane change down at the bottom of the hill for the bridge is down right dangerous. I could easly see someone unintentionally doing a full lane change if they were not paying full attention.
