Any alignment issues with coilovers?

Hi Roy,

I can not say for sure, but you can feel slight cupping with your hand running it over the tire. If you have cupping...not a good sigh and I would suggest you realign the truck and have the tires shaved at a tire shop to eliminate the cupping if this is the case.

Yes, I would recommend driving on the new wheels and tires to get a feel if there is a marked difference in vehicle handling/vibrations. The thing is that the wear is so slight it might be quite a few miles before you realize things are not right. I think you need a shop that can work with you and maybe they have a few tricks up their sleeves to get you within spec. Other folks have raised their vehicle and published their alignment specs and it appears most can get with in spec. Not sure why you have not had the same result. I rarely comment on lifting Rangers as I have no experience with non OEM mods on the current Ranger. My jaw dropped at the 4° nunber!

Hey Phil. I put 2 size taller tires on my 2020 xlt and ended up with cupping on inside of tires in less than 5000 miles. Alignment shop said taller tires threw it out of alignment. Have new coilovers to install this weekend and then take it to get lined back up. I rotated the tires. Hopefully new coilovers and alignment will remedy my situation. Can't afford new tires every 5,000 miles. Sorry for hijacking you guys post. Just wanted to throw my experience in.
BTW ,GREAT STORY ABOUT THE GOOSE.
