I put my first born on the passenger side for access reasons, like some said before me parking situations and size of your child does impede reaching to the middle easily. The one recommendation given to me by my friend who is CHP and gives the car seat install classes was to use the seat belt...
I understand this is in a different league from the hydraulic/air bump kits and more in line with being a beefier stock bump stop. I'd like to know if anyone is running these or has seen them perform in person? I did have some email coorespondence with Super Springs and they did state that...
So if I understand correctly would it be possible to be at mid-perch and get a softer ride closer to bottom perch or is that just not possible without being able to move the bypass?

Has anyone had the shocks revalved for mid-perch while being in for a rebuild? It would be nice to have the shock valved for the increased ride height/relation to bypass ports.

Most accurate answer I've found is from Dylan at ICON,who measured them at 650lbs/in. 6th paragraph has the info, it's an interesting read.

Yes, the rear does sit higher than the front but the front to rear height difference is approximately the same as mid-perch with stock rear block. I have the same rake as mid-perch but I'm just overall lower. I've considered installing the progressive front springs but not mid-perch again. I...
Yes I did do the mod, I have 5K miles on it with no problems. This thread has pics and more info. http://www.fordraptorforum.com/showthread.php?t=10618

I haven't seen this posted but I ran across
a 1 piece front end that McNeil Racing makes for the Raptor, higher flares and wider. I think it looks mean!

I installed 1 1/2" rear blocks which brought the rear down a touch over 1". The blocks retain the bump stop horn much like the stock blocks and there is slightly less axle wrap due to the shorter block. If your going to lower the rear and plan on keeping stock rear springs I would opt for the...
I have about 1000 miles towing, I'd say it weighs in around 5500 with my usual load out. Tows great, did take a little getting use to the softness of the rear.

Finally got around to installing the 1.5" blocks this weekend. It dropped the rear 1" and it still has a rake to it but it's about the same as mid perch with the stock rear block. Ride is good maybe a touch firmer in the rear due to being deeper into the compression stroke. Here's a pic at stock...
Model year is 2013, bought in 12/13 , approximately 6600 miles. I'll let you know what they find when I bring it in.

Not that all dealers adhere to this but for what it's worth.

I did 1600 miles at mid perch. I enjoyed the off road performance but not so
much that I was willing to sacrifice my on road handling. Stock perch rides like a couch around town and still does better than any stock truck and most of the rag tag Bro prerunners running around.

I saw that thread, my truck is a '13 so I'm a little concerned with the CV angles. Even on bottom perch with the Geiser Bros spring the trucks are sitting about a 1" higher than mid. Time will tell if it's "ok" but I don't want to worry about the reliability of my 4x4 more than I already do when...
