True. And the lost skin on your knuckles will eventually grow back.

Certainly a better investment than an average Ivy League education these days.

The installer just set it at "grade", around 8 years ago. With the constant wind & the lightweight silt over time it gets built up at the fence line. About every 2 years max, you need to dig out all the blowsand, weeds, trash, etc, that accumulates. The dogs certainly enjoy their digging, but...

This guy is the culprit.

I saw an installation video of that suspension "mod" from cj offroad.... It looks like a lot of effort, time, & money to make it taller; without actually improving anything.

Nevermind. It's this janky diff drop/suspension drop thing:

As soon as I finish the last 700' of this:

How does it work, is it a body lift, or the deal where they drop the lower arm and replace the spindle, and just another block under the leaf springs?

This is a Currie Gen 1 Raptor-spec axle, (without the Wilwood brakes, or sales tax, or shipping). Yikes

My bad. Didn't realize you bought an entire Currie axle to make this work. No wonder it's $20K! I priced one with all the cool stuff at north of $10K for a complete axle

So its a bolt-on kit, and it requires you to weld the truss to your axle. What's the deal with the R&P cover? Is it still accessible from on top? Is that a drain hole on the KHC skidplate?

The suspension droop isn't controlled by the shock length. At least it shouldn't be. If you just swap out your spring pack for Deavers, Icons, etc, you're not required to replace & relocate your shocks to use them, the same as if you swap out your factory coilovers for any "bolt on" units.

How come that KHC 5-link isn't on their website? There's a hint of a Gen 2 linked suspension, but as usual, no real suspension travel numbers, or photos.

How come that advertising doesn't mention how much suspension travel you will gain?

This is the stock suspension with the coilover, swaybar, and tie rod removed. That 37" bfg will scrub at full compression.

My project is right behind you. And by that I mean 2025 :(

Which motor? How old are the shocks? Record of oil change/service/repairs? Where did it live? Did a teenager or an angry woman ever drive it? Sunroof? Rust? That's a smokin' deal though.

Awesome to be able to do the alignment in-house.

What in the me th? I've never seen anything like that before. Looks like everything would have seized up & damaged/destroyed the entire axle housing. And the previous owner reused that case?

Show the difference in registration fees, insurance premiums, and parts costs between the 2 different generations. Or, the projected depreciation rate between a 10yo raptor and a newer version. If facts don't work, try feelings instead: stomp your feet, scream, and roll around on the ground...

Yup. That's exactly my plan. KHC buckets, 2017 Gen 2 shocks & springs, (with those SVC coil adjusters set to "stock" height), the SDI top hat, and the extended angle axles. Oh, and money. lots and lots of money.

It's like the difference between Riley Gaines and Dylan Mulvany. Choose wisely

If it pleases the court, I'd like to introduce proof of my assertion:
