    Is it ok to replace just one front strut?

    If you can help it, get them both done. Now that is a low mileage, but I’m a firm believer in pairs, if 1 ball joint is bad, the other isn’t far behind mentality

    GEN 2 SDI Top hat/ Deaver +4 HD!!!

    Yeah, that was the thing with me to… Having a live valve truck I feared running a Geiser or or Eibach just incase a surprise bump got me, and one did last year. Definitely could have been really bad and I’m probably lucky I was stock at the time. Thinking back on those measurements I took...

    GEN 2 SDI Top hat/ Deaver +4 HD!!!

    So just for reference, I went out to take some pictures. It definitely doesn’t look as bad as the tape shows it is. And maybe there was more to be had as far as lift in the front since the Ford that did the install sucks, and didn’t throw the dust covers back on the front of the truck, but we’re...

    GEN 2 Ordered The SPD Trombone

    Sorry for the short video again, the file is much too large, but it’s just the same thing over and over again! Hope this helps! The downpipes really took it up those extra notches of noise, the trombone didn’t really make it louder, just changed the tone

    GEN 2 Ordered The SPD Trombone

    With SPD downpipes and built in Adapters, and stock Muffs. Sounds excellent all the time unless I am towing, then I want to stab an ice pick into my ears under any load. Sorry I don’t have a longer video, my wife always takes the truck ‍♂️

    Gen 2 pulling 10,000# boat

    Something like this can TOTALLY be done **IF** and that is a big IF you know what you are doing, looks like you definitely do. I did Deaver +4’s on my Gen 2 and we use it for all sorts of stuff, we have a rack and roof tent out back weighing about 300 pounds, and a 20’ in closed trailer we use...

    Impulse Buy '24 Antimatter Raptor

    Welcome to the forum! I only have a Gen 2 since I am a peasent, and it’s not blue, how ever I meet 1/3 criteria for a picture! Bronze wheels look amazing on these trucks, no matter what Gen or colour! Beautiful truck my friend, I love the facelift Ford gave the 24’s!

    Welcome to the forum!! My Gen 2 has the screen go black all the time, no matter how many times I reset it, or update it. Pretty sure it is a Sync software issue between Sync 3/4

    GEN 2 SDI Top hat/ Deaver +4 HD!!!

    Glad to help! Just remember they will take some time to break in and settle, and ride quality will also improve once settled. Enjoy being able to boot it without wheel hop!!

    GEN 2 SDI Top hat/ Deaver +4 HD!!!

    Cool swap! I only have experience with stock springs and the current +4’s on my Raptor, but all I can say is I am super happy with how it rides on and off road, and how much more confidence we have towing now with the +4’s Here is a pre Deaver picture with my 20’ trailer, and 2000lb side by...

    GEN 2 SDI Top hat/ Deaver +4 HD!!!

    This is on 35x12.50R18’s, still super happy about this setup as they’ve settled to about 1/4” higher in the rear than the front now with the constant weight, and since I’ve been towing heavy. 37’s are definitely in the future, these 35’s probably only have about a season left on them!

    GEN 2 SPD Catted Downpipes and Trombone w/Stock Muffler

    Yup pretty normal unfortunately. Exact same setup, spd dp’s w/adapters and trombone pipe to stock mufflers, sounds like thin sheet metal vibrating for 15 seconds every time you start it

    GEN 2 SDI Top hat/ Deaver +4 HD!!!

    That Rack and tent weighs about 275-300 pounds I believe, we did the +4’s since we tow a cargo trailer with a side by side in it as of recent. If I didn’t tow, I would do the +3HD’s since we go camping and load the box up with gear. If none of that stuff, I would probably do the 3+’s! For the...

    SDI Top Hat's or SVC C.A.S???

    Definitely do the top hats. I just did mine yesterday, and deaver +4 HD’s and man did they make a difference. On a live valve truck you want the thick hat on there as factory one’s often fail of you have a stiffer spring like a geiser or eibach, and you go full droop, then go full compression...

    GEN 2 SDI Top hat/ Deaver +4 HD!!!

    Hey everyone! So finally I got around to doing the SDI top hat and deaver +4 HD’s on the truck, and I must say, Very impressed with this set up! Previously I had some trouble finding pictures of Gen 2’s with the Buckets on, so hopefully this helps other out that are curious. The buckets got...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Finally a thread on deavers and sdi buckets! I have my +4 HD’s downstairs and my SDI buckets just showed up! I was nervous the rake would be too much with the +4’s and just the buckets, seeing this gives me hope being I have a constant 300lb in the back of the truck year round minimum!

    Has anyone posted pictures of their SDI top hats on their Gen 2?

    Hey everyone! I’ve searched this forum for hours and hours to make sure Im not that guy that ask’s a question that’s been asked 10,000 times! It seems I can not find any pictures of a Gen 2 with SDI top hats installed… Has anyone on this forum done it? Mine are on order and have been forever...

    New to the forum!

    Yeah haha, I've poked around the forum over the last year and a bit, also while I was looking for a Gen 1 a few years back.. But now my wife and I just bought a house with some land and a shop, so we can get more serious about working on the Raptor, and I would like to get more involved with the...

    Exhaust combi

    My wife and I did the SPD Downpipes with built in adapters, no real drone unless you're at 80 mph or so, or towing. Cold start is a bit rowdy, and WOT sounds pretty good, sort of GTR ish, probably closer to a VQ but definitely better than one. Deep tone and throaty. Stock Mufflers, but the built...

    Resonator Delete and Towing

    Might be late for a reply on this thread but I am a new member, We have the SPD Downpipes with built in turbo adapters, and trombone pipe as well, does it sound good? Yes, sounds like a GTR, perfect for bombing around and beating the crap out of. We just did a. 1100 km (700 Miles) round trip...
