I have read all this thread and talked to my local 4x4 shop and everyone gives a different answer!

Will raptor wheels and tires 315 70 17 fit on my truck with just a level?

My Ford Dealer Service Manager is emphatic that they will cover any warranty issues. I have always had my dealer do the installation just so they own it. Not that I don't trust their word but reduces the risk of "future excuses". This is my third truck with a levelling kit (2010, 2014, 2018) and have never had an issue. The first two truck were Readylift and my new 2018 is DBS Suspension. All 2.5" levels.

I noticed after my lift the same issue, I took the truck back to the shop and all they did was swap the two front tires to the opposite sides, it seems that the tires were rotating backwards form the initial mounting position. After that no more pulling to any of the two sides.

I haven't used this but could be an option? Or maybe easier than forscan?

Your speedo is off and so is the miles driven; which you may already know as speedo could mean both mph and miles driven.

Why didn't they adjust your camber angles to get them within spec? Was there no more adjustment range?

The alignment was on point I guess the backwards rotation on the tires was creating the issue.

Anyone use the stock raptor uca's on their leveled truck? About $200 for a set from Tasca parts seems a lot better than $800 for a uniball set. Also live in North Jersey and feel like the winters will tear up some fancy uniballs.

Pretty sure they’re too big. Aren’t raptors like 3” wider per side? Longer axles, etc.

A 315/70R17 or 35x12.50R17 will fit (might rub crash bars, fender liner, mud flaps, etc) on a 2”+ leveled truck with the proper positive offset, which in the case of the raptor wheels is +34mm. You can clear “35s” on factory wheels too (+44mm) but they’re gonna come extremely close to the UCA. Get some raptor take offs and you’ll be good.
