    Dream Build Lets all Collaborate!

    2 Skip the heim ends, unless you plan on pulling them and servicing regularly. These WILL get dust in them and wear out, (they are a wear part anyway, but this is race car stuff) your much better off with traditional bushed style end, go poly if you want the rigidity. Also they will be noisy...

    GEN 1 plug wires

    There won't be any performance gain. If your doing it for bling that's your deal.

    Trouble finding Hub Centric Spacers for 14 raptor

    Why not just get rid of the spacers? What wheels/offset are on this?

    Gen 1 Front Drivers side Lean

    Could also be the gas charge on that side is low.

    Gen 2 wheels

    Yes, your sensors are essentially the valve stems. I think the gen 2 don't work on gen 1 so your in good shape.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    That's because you did pads only. The parking break is a drum built into the rotor on these, the shoes are easily visible once you have the rotor off.

    Gen 1 Front Drivers side Lean

    36 gallons of fuel @6.3 lbs = 226 lbs. The tank is mounted somewhat in the middle of the truck. If the weight is distributed evenly front/back thats 113 lbs. Stock spring rate is 550lbs per inch, so you would see about .2 of an inch of compression on a full tank (assuming the truck was balanced...

    2011 68k miles recently purchased, could this be the culprit? Of the shake and shimmy?

    Don't guess and throw the parts shotgun at it, that's a waste of money and can only lead to a lighter wallet and frustration with the truck. Diagnosing your problem over the internet with some pictures and a brief description is just guessing... do it properly. Jack up one corner, try to rock...

    GEN 1 plug wires

    Nope, get you some stocker Motorcrafts. Take the $225 savings and do something with it that might make an actual difference.

    Door lock stuck

    Mudflaps may be a better solution. You really don't want anything in the airstream of the brakes, the brakes on these overheat easily as is. It seems really unlikely that rust is from your rotors, unless your running a super aggressive brake pad. It's more likely fall out or industrial...

    All 16 new plugs gapped at .38

    Autolite claims those are gapped at 0.051" from the factory https://www.autolite.com/parts-finder/APP5363/contact-us I am not sure how you got a set that was that far off. FYI a set of feeler gauges have a whole mess of uses, including this and can be had for under $5...

    Your Raptors Audio System

    Post up a pic of your center stack, there were a few options for the 11s, some are easier than others.

    GEN 1 Subwoofer enclosure

    No reason to go through all that madness. Thread a set of hex drive inserts into the back side of the mounting surface before you do final assembly, they won't pull through. Then you just use machine screws to install the sub.

    GEN 1 OEM Fox Shocks Servicing at Fox Service Center

    $500 for the four shocks? Fox can do my rebuilds in the future. That's $360 less than what forged charged me. I also only got $120 back on my "deposit".

    Best filtering air filter?

    I've actually seen this, engine pulled enough vacuum to distort the filter, that intake tract was still clean. You have a leak. None of the aftermarket solutions are going to provide finer filtration, stock seems to be the best deal off road.

    Allan leaf springs

    I'd like you to get a set so you can review them :) I am through Grand Junction regularly and saving the shipping costs would be awesome!

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    I haven't had good experience with Kooks. Stainless works American made would be my choice for the ~$200 price difference. If it is too loud have a stock style resonator installed.

    Rubber hose(s) replacement

    I am all about the Motorcraft stuff, I know that those hoses are still going to be on the truck in 20 years, I know they are going to fit with no finegelling. The silicon stuff? Looks nice, not as sure about the longevity... You would think if they can make a 50 year bathtub caulk they should be...

    GEN 1 Wheels Questions (Brand, offset, size)

    Ok. Offset is how far from the centerline of the wheel they mount to the "WMS" - wheel mounting surface (brake rotor in the case of these trucks) + offset means the wheel face is further from the center line, so the wheel will stick out less. So how far a wheel sticks out from the face of the...

    Are my Stock Shox worth anything?

    Never serviced 120k mile shocks? Sound like a rebuild money pit to me. Hard to tell without pics though.

    Yet another Supercharger thread...

    I really enjoy the Whipple noise. Only there when you are on it. Having ridden in a Roush truck it was nearly silent. There is a different feel between the two because of the noise. It seems like the Roush guys have a little trouble with their cooling, just because of where the HE is mounted. I...
