Top Perch & 37"s

BlackReef · Sep 28, 2011

Does anybody have a pic of a raptor with the top perch adjustment and 37"s?

Also, how does the top perch setting affect ride quality?

Thanks in advance,
-J

(I dont know if I should get an 08 F250 Supercrew FX4 or a '10 Raptor Supercrew! I love the straight axle front diff on the f250 but the raptors are sexier)

Here ya go!

PS... Get the Rap!

Perch setting will create pre-load on the spring and thus give you a little rougher of a ride.

what a sweet, sweet truck that is man.

The raptor has coilovers in the front, no? Seems like you could swap out for a set of adjustable coilovers and adjust the ride height in the front without sacrificing ride quality.

I did a torsion bar crank adjustment on my current truck and only went up about 1.5", the ride quality suffered horribly so Im paranoid about it ha

On a side note, the extended cab looks better than the supercew IMO. would like to see the same setup with a supercrew though

ok well curiosity got the best of me, here is what your truck would like like in supercrew. I think the double cab like yours looks best but this looks good too:

Cool but not even close to the scab

Damn, nice PS skills, and Tizz's Rap still looks bang'n!!!! I have the SCrew and only did the middle perch. I think the top perch looks best on the SCabs and the middle looks best on the SCrews...IMO. Iceman302 also did the middle perch on his SCrew. As for the ride, i havent really notice much, if any difference in the ride quality, still a great ride. Nothing like you will with the torsion bar adjustment. I had a GMC Sierra and feel your pain on the torsion bars. The Rap rides NOTHING like that...NOTHING.

Well thats good to know on the ride quality. Right now Im leaning more towards a black scab 6.2, but the supercrew does look very nice. I like the lighter look and feel of the scab, looks more athletic and nimble.

BTW - Im assuming with the top perch that 37"s should clear just fine all the way around, right? Also what is the easiest way to recalibrate the speedo? gears or chip mod? (for when you go 37"s)

I still prefer the middle perch... SCrew or SCab.

The middle perch is where Ford should have put it for stock...IMO...
