    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    Thank's. He is a tough old bird, Ret CSM. Like 37 years in Army and National Guard. WWII in the Philippines. Only problem is he does not feel pain. Well he has had so much of it his whole life its normal and he don't tell us when something is wrong. He just soaks it up. We bought him a...

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    Well I have been pretty busy dealing with my 87 year old dad. He had back surgery last October and its been a REAL up hill battle to get him back with us on this planet. Sold his house and car, have had him in and out of hospitals and rehabs since Nov 13. Right now we have him in a groove at a...

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    My Raptor is a SCREW. Good point about sway bar. I did not disconnect. On the street I want it. If I did a lot of off road and rock crawling I would defiantly try it. BDRAG

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    NOPE! I just like a vehicle that drives great under MY driving conditions. Like I have said, to each their own. I guess the best way to say it is, IF YOUR GONNA DO IT, DO IT RIGHT not half assed. Spend the cash and go for it! DO ALL 4 CORNERS not a half assed front semi fix. If ya off road...

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    WOW! I don't feel so fat and old now! HAhaaaaa. So far it seems like some that have gone to the mid perch have had the same experience as I have with ride, drivability and function. It sounds like there is a benefit to mid perch for certain people and some just want it the way it was designed...

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    I have also heard both of those stories. I can not believe that the engineers just dropped the front end and said DONE when there was a height issue, be it headlights or bumper height. The truck does such a variety of tasks so well at OEM settings, from the stability control to the braking and...

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    Then I suggest installing the Devers leaf spring package, the one that adds just 1 inch of height to the rear and I think I read where it adds about 400 lbs of load ability. I was going to do that before I did the reverse perch. This is a 9 leaf pack I think. Spose to still give the truck the...

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    So you did do something to the rear springs then? I also pull a small trainer on occasion and also stuff my Triumph 1200 Tiger in the rear. MAN O MAN does it squat the rear. The trailer not as bad as bike in the bed. I have also done both and the headlights point into the trees! I think I will...

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    The trucks look and ride bad ass with all the shocks and so on with the 37's. If you want off road ability and the looks spend the cash if ya have it. If you like the ride of the AS IS Raptor but want more look and off punch as far as ability, there are some great tire choices out there rather...

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    I must admit that the truck looks more the part with the front raised up. I was about to spend $$$$ on a set of Devers 1" rear sprigs. I felt this would help with the balance of the truck, get the rear in sync with the lifted and stiffer front end. Essentially by doing mid perch one is partially...

    What did you think of the TONKA TRUCK? Scroll down and view it. 6" lift? South of the border hood scoops? I get the idea but think its damn ugly! Not the color but the add ons to the body. BDRAG

    Reverse perch, am i the first?

    Hey all, I have been fairly quiet of late, I have been lurking though. So the title of my post, REVERSE PERCH. Has anyone other than me gone back to the lowest OEM setting on the OEM shocks? I installed a slightly used set of shocks because my rears were gone and the fronts were seeming...

    Exhaust advice needed

    All I have done is the super 44 Flowmaster. OEM tail pipe which I like the looks of, I am old, and I left the resonator in to keep it livable for a 55 year old dumbass who listens to old people music while driving along at 65-80 mph. Been that way for 3 years now. STILL LOVE the sound and the...

    Thanks. By paying it off early the damage money comes to me and only me. I hope to gain enough from the drunk to shop the repairs and have some add on money left over for a front dirt pusher for my troubles. BDRAG

    So what's the damage from the run today? Any videos? The burgers were GREAT! Wish I could have done both. Was waiting on my Title so I could get my insurance check. Did not want any ADDITIONAL damage just in case I need another appraisal. Got my title in the mail today! YES! BDRAG
