    I did Shock rebuild. Absolutely zero down time. I used Forged Off Road. Its a exchange. They sent me a rebuilt set and I had so many days to send them my originals. Plug and play and very affordable. No complaints at all and very happy with what I got

    Towing question?

    Exactly what 2slo4u said. Raptor not at all ment for towing that heavy. If you do you will have to do alot of upgrades including brakes. My Gen1 with 6.2 engine had a hard time stopping in time to avoid an accident with 500 lbs in the bed and I was standing on the brake pedal

    Florida raptor specialist

    I've had a clunk noise in front end since the day I bought mine yrs ago brand new on small bumps like frost heaves and small pot holes only. Come to find out threw research and from Ford that it is the normal Hydraulic actuation in the shocks itself. Its a noisy off road suspension. And yes...

    2011 w/ 100k, is it worth it?

    mid perch setting is a different story. Mid perch puts the Raptor its originally designed ride height and handles way better. The DOT made Ford lower bumper height thus the extra low setting

    2011 w/ 100k, is it worth it?

    Just my opinion. Take it for what its worth. I am NO fan of of a lift kit on a Raptor. Takes away what the truck was designed for and so on and so on. Especially handeling

    2011 w/ 100k, is it worth it?

    I have a 2011. 173,000 miles on it. All I ever had to do was just routine maintenance and shock rebuild. Only thing that crapped out on it was 1 coil pack. Thats it. EXTREMELY RELIABLE TRUCK. I had my cab corners done last yr. I live in CT. If the cab corners have any blistering I recommend...

    2019 coil replacement

    On my Gen1 I had 1 coil go out on me and the engine went into self protect mode. Vibrated like a jack hammer as it shut down power to the engine and no air conditioning and such. So from my experience on coil packs is it will REALLY RUN like crap when they go bad. Doesn't sound like a Coil...

    BF Goodrich KO2 - C2 vs E2 load rating, ride quality affected?

    What tire pressure are you running? I maintain at 40psi. If any lower you end up getting less tread life

    BF Goodrich KO2 - C2 vs E2 load rating, ride quality affected?

    I've had both KO2s C and the E load range. The Cs definitely road better and I will never use a E on the Raptor ever again. I get 60,000 out of both. If you run low tire pressure with the E they don't last long at all. BF Goodrich will tell you the same. So to get good mileage out if the E range...

    Having Trouble Deciding Between Gen 1 vs Gen 2

    Well for me and many others. The 6.2L is a GREAT RAPTOR ENGINE. Produces plenty of power as is and very easy to add more, easy to work on, and Extremely Reliable. In all my experiences as a life long mechanic the more techy it gets the less Reliable it gets. I see it in Aviation, Dirt Bikes...
