    GEN 1 Anyone running the Gen 1 Eibach front springs?

    You should also at least take a look at the Geisers. They’re progressive whereas I believe the Eibachs are linear. You also want to consider the fact that unless the Eibachs are somehow softer than stock, at ride height you’ll be extending the shock past where the engineers designed it to...

    GEN 2 Icon vs Deavers

    If anyone is interested, I revisited some of the Icon information on their leaves, and the overall spring rate of their leaves is actually lower than stock as shipped from icon, so they should in no way “feel stiffer”. They include an extra leaf that can be added to then raise the spring rate.

    GEN 2 Icon vs Deavers

    The firmness is decided by the thickness, length, and degree of bend of each leaf. There’s honestly no objective way to test it, other than by trying both and deciding which ones feel better to you.

    GEN 2 Icon vs Deavers

    “Stiffer” is extremely misleading. Because the icon and deavers both have more leaves than stock, they are more compliant and more progressive. Off-road, they have the net effect of actually feeling SOFTER over big bumps because they let the shock do what it’s supposed to. With my stock springs...

    2018 raptor king 3.0 vs fox 3.0 vs icon 3.0 vs any other 3.0

    Yes, they absolutely do require more frequent rebuilds. Call King and they will give you the same answer that their pure race shocks require more frequent seal changes than their performance shocks, simply because of the seal differences. Fox has now gone to their factory (race) series shocks...

    Accutune is very good

    2018 raptor king 3.0 vs fox 3.0 vs icon 3.0 vs any other 3.0

    Wear bands and seals also wear. The Vit-on seals Fox and Icon use and that king uses in their race shocks require much faster rebuild intervals

    GEN 1 Eibach +3 front springs

    That’s what I heard from the Ford SVT reps. Other than their word, there’s no way to prove it.

    GEN 1 Eibach +3 front springs

    The stock fox shocks are valved to perform best at mid perch. Ford set the stock shocks to low perch from factory to meet federal pedestrian impact height regulations. Also, alignment cams don’t do anything but assist in keeping your alignment over time, and providing a greater distribution of...

    Camber alignment kit

    The SPC kit, or any “alignment kit” for that matter, doesn’t add any additional alignment capability. All it does is add alignment cams to prevent your alignment being thrown off from vibration and impacts. If you want to add extra alignment capability you need adjustable upper control arms.

    GEN 2 Icon vs Deavers

    There is no “one is better”, as the weight and weight distribution plus driving usage of every single truck is different. You’ll have to take as much information as you can and use that to infer what you think will be the best for you. The icons have 8 leaves, and the Deavers have 11, although...

    SVC Smurf Bumper Install

    I don’t like to get into the game of he said she said about different brands, but I’ve had a much much better customer service experience speaking with RPG. I bought the SVC rack because I found one used, but I called RPG before making the decision and their engineer was more than happy to talk...

    WTB Power steering reservoir upgrade

    I was having pump noise when turning the wheels when completely stopped and at low speeds and had fluid that smelled badly burnt. It now makes no noise and much of the vibration is gone, but I still get some random and slight vibration when turning. I was told that the higher fluid capacity of...

    WTB Power steering reservoir upgrade

    I’ve been having issues with burnt fluid and some pump noise. I’ve flushed the fluid completely but I’m assuming this will help alleviate the lingering symptoms?

    SVC Smurf Bumper Install

    To be completely honest though, I bought an SVC front bumper and was not at all impressed with the quality. I have their bypass rack and it’s constructed extremely well, but I ended up selling the bumper as the tubing was very thin, lightweight, and not even capped on the ends.

    SVC Smurf Bumper Install

    They’re a consumable part. Their primary function is reducing damage to other vehicles in a 5-10 mph parking lot accident which is now a government regulation. They’re made to deform and then be replaced.

    They can always be welded back on. Ford even sells them online.

    2018 Geiser and Deaver Questions

    There is some elaboration needed. Most of the aftermarket leaf springs (excluding leaf packs meant for towing) will actually ride SOFTER than stock when unloaded or carrying a couple hundred pounds because there are more leaves than stock and the leaves at the beginning of the pack are...

    2018 Geiser and Deaver Questions

    No, they are not. Every coil is evenly spaced. Progressive springs have unevenly spaced coils.
