    Loose at high speeds

    My truck was feeling loose at speed too. New ball joints in UCAs eliminated that. It tracks like its on rails again now.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    99k. Only recently became noticeable and improvement was significant. Used Duralast Gold balljoints, which are servicable. UCA bushings were fine/no play. Don't need to replace entire assembly.

    GEN 2 About to do a shock swap, 1/4" strut spacer okay?

    Icon vs Deaver follow-up

    Deaver +3 SD, holding up great, 10/10 would bang again. I bought used, not sure how many miles were on them, and have put 40k on them. Rustoleum keeps the surface rust at bay, which is the only downside I've found with them.

    Overhaul Time

    I just ordered full set of shock from RA, cheapest price around. They arrive today and are in stock. $230 cheaper delivered than tasca. I'm going to have my current shocks rebuilt locally for $140/corner and keep for next time. Check out your driver side valve cover. They are known to crack...
