flattened leaves will sag more than 1/2” eibachs may settle close to 1/2” rearch your stock leaves and add a couple of leaves 1/2 the deaver cost, deavers sag too by the way

missing hardware? what’s missing? if they’re threaded and adjustable heims at the frame side they’re probably ok, if they’re non adjustable there’s no point…

totally agree with car stereo, rearch and add a leaf, leaf spring shops are everywhere and this is easily done for 1/2 the new deaver cost

indeed the lca pockets are exposed and easily damaged with a frame cut bumper. remember the pockets are part of crash management. the foutz replacement is a nice part, they advised me to repair the pockets if possible, weld in doubling plates, pocket bridge and frame strengthening front and rear...

the tie rods, inner and outer are designed to protect the steering rack, replacing inner or outer tie rods is much cheaper than a rack. be glad it’s tie rods and not the $2500 rack did you mean 37” tires?

as well as steering and axel angle problems remember at 43” front height you will only have 3 to 4” of droop travel

You may have some bumpsteer from changing the ride height (how much did you raise?) and altering angles but it sounds like you need another shop to check your alignment, rack, cv axels, inner tie rods and steering shaft for issues. uca’s are stronger and articulate better but don’t really affect...

0mm will stick out about 1 3/8” compared to stock will throw more mud on the side of your truck 18mm will stick out about 5/8” compared to stock less mud slinging safer choice

self tapping screws won’t hold anything d rings held by the bed bolts is a better idea

4 d rings on the stock bed bolts is what $10? 2 ratchet straps $30? cheap and effective

fwiw I’ve been through baja twice, svc is great just a different design, I have 16” king 3.5” s which should be pulling 18” travel, I rearched deaver 4s with a couple extra leaves so I have close to 8” compression travel and around 10” rebound, barely touch the bumps

ya their website is weak for raptor products, the rack is similar to their chev set up pics, call JT at baja kits for info. they might stock the rack, king shocks are several months wait. i’m happy with the rack and kings, the baja kits rack is similar to other racks on the market, simple...

I have them and like them 3 brackets mount to stock body buckets not a frame mount

ok I have 3.5s with rack rear and stock width front with 3s a 3.5 rear needs a mid travel front imo with coilover and secondary shock I think you’ll be getting past the live valve capabilities guys love eclik with stock or frs mid travel and rear rack etc is far more capable

or just take your raptor springs to be rearched and add a couple of leaves to take up the 4” block mistake cheaper than deavers and works well

Foutz and Baja Kits have them too I’m looking at a secondary shock just had limit straps installed

well if and when you get in the dirt you’ll be kicking ass with that set up

actually I don’t think you need springs, you have a 2017 just get coil springs that came off a 2019(they’re a bit taller), any aftermarket shop will have them and maybe even live valve shocks (which I don’t think you have) as for the leaf springs, save money, get a spring shop to re-arch and...

foutz makes front lca pocket replacements that are very solid

If you’re going with eclik then you must be off roading so get fox race series live valves and you’ll have fully height adjustable coil overs, deaver +3 hd no drop shackles, bump kit advisable (by the way raising the front over 2” with a spring is not a great idea)

true the icon uca uniball is greaseable the inboard heims are not i believe the uniball is still going to wear with off roading and need replacing

Oct 7 to 14 all full contact me for my spot peter 6048801054

sphericals don’t last long in british columbia, less than a year and mine wear out off roading once a week or less, and an alignment is advisable every time too

you sure about that? I think a load c all terrain is better you want soft sidewalls and tread that floats not digs in (I have mt’s)

my flag is off a hitch insert it’s a bit low something from the bed is better if you don’t have a tonneau in the way. i’ve been there probably 10 times alone never got stuck and i tend to do some dumb things, however it is dangerous with steep bluffs etc many times i get out to look over an edge...
