Been talking to several off road shops to install lift collars and align. One of them came back with this:

Regarding alignment, most offroad rigs like 3-5 degrees of caster, a 1/2 degree of camber, and a 1/4” toe, regardless of make, model or brand.

Curious to thoughts on this and what have you been using for alignment specs if you added lift collars?

My feeling is stay within OEM specifications, Ford tested these Bronco Raptors for years in all terrains. Sometimes the manufactures will have "track" alignment specs. I haven't seen anything like that for our Raptors but I haven't gone looking either.

Glad this was posted...having my Foutz Collars on order through a local shop so hoping to get them installed and then realigned very soon.
