[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1987968, member: 21926"] Ford gave us far, far fewer compromises than folks who update a single or few components of the suspension --system--, without concern for what other impacts those changes have. Which keep it dirty pretty much admitted. Finally. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link and if you put something in that changes that equation, something else is going to fail. You can never make it 100% failure free, you can only potentially improve it within a specific range. The problem the “youtube / instagram influencer” engineers introduce is they decide what is the weakest component ignorantly OR they make poor life choices like “I know I don’t need it, but I like how the truck looks with a 3” lift, so we’ll incorporate that into the design”. Then they complain about the truck’s behavior, rationalize why their modification is not at fault, no way, no how because they’re SUPREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE, and you should believe them because they have <insert number> of followers on social media. People fall for this. I’ll admit as well, there are ... a lot of windows in my house, so to speak. I did exactly what I’m pointing out above on my Raptor Stereo and would have saved about a grand if I’d upgraded the sound as a system, rather than try to piece meal update what I thought needed done. Lesson hopefully learned. [/QUOTE]
