Just got back from Moab. The Raptor worked awesome. Did a bunch of hiking and wheeling. She did awesome on the white rim trail which is bumpy but easy. Felt bad blowing by the Jeep guys while they were bouncing around all over the place inside their Jeeps. Did some medium rated rock trails...

No I’m missing it. My wife and I are headed to Moab Utah. My wife’s a teacher and it’s her spring break. We’ve been wanting to hit Moab for a long time. It’s too hot in the summer so next week is it. Have a blast down there!

BFG 37’s on 17 inch methods with geiser springs and Deaver +2’s. No rubbing, at least on road. Headed off-roading next week. I have pics on the thread I posted about geiser springs and Deaver +2’s. It’s just a couple down from this one on the forum

Oh yeah. Sorry bout that. For sure 17’s.

I think the 4.75 is the closest to stock. All I know for sure is they don’t seem to rub under any condition on a paved road.

From ground to bottom of fender is on average 43 and a half both front and rear. My driveway slopes everywhich direction so none of the measurements were the same. All 4 corners were different. I’ll get real numbers when I get on some level ground. I texted the guys at the shop for the wheel...

I’ll get the numbers. I just told them the wheels I liked and the guys at the shop did the rest. I did all kinds of research about backspace and rubbing and then they said. “We’ve got it covered” Lol

Just got the 2017 Shortbus back from getting some work done at Cameron Steele’s new offroad shop “Baja HQ” I went with Method wheels, BFG 37’s, Geiser brothers progressive front coils and Deaver +2 leafs in the rear. I just picked her up this morning but holy cow what a HUGE difference. The...

I’m headed to Moab April 2-6. Doing some off-roading in the Raptor but planning on a bunch of hiking at Arches National Park and probably rent a UTV for the slick rock.

Team Ford in Vegas. Ask for Chris, this is from the Race-Dezert forum. I bought my 2012 there and my 2017 and I live in CA. It’s not hard to do at all. Hello Race-Dezert members, I am Chris Goeschel, Vice President/General Manager of Team Ford Lincoln in Las Vegas, Nevada. Steve and I thought...

The +3 is for heavier loads and towing. She’s gonna ride stiffer. The +2 is more like the stock ride until it gets deeper into the spring.

What’s your race car? Would a toyhauler work?

I also own a Porsche 911 Turbo that requires premium gas, income is not a challenge. Being wise with finances is how one gets to be able to afford fun toys. I have always and will only run premium in anything that’s not naturally aspirated. It’s nice to se actual numbers though.

I’m sticking with premium just cause I’m old and back in the day you only ran the best you could get in a turbo’d or blown engine. It’s just useful info for peeps. PS. I for sure think about fuel cost, it’s an easy way to save money.

AAA did a study on whether premium fuel is worth it. The standard 3.6 turbo F150 sees a 5.0% increase in mpg and a 2.1% increase in hp. So if a Raptor had a 2.1% increase that would be a 9.45 increase in hp with the standard tune. I’m not sure what happens with the Raptor but the national...

I had a 12 that I loved, I now have a 17. The torque, steering, 3” shocks, better fitting seats, Sync 3, mpg, rear bed lighting, on and on are all better. I get 17 mpg at 77 mph average highway and 15.3 around town compared to 12.5 and 9.5 on the 2012. I can’t even tell you how much better the...

Man some of you guys are hard core. Every fall like clock work some newbie comes on Race-Dezert.com and will ask how and where to view the baja 1000 and every fall some of the biggest names in dezert Racing give their best advice. If a question bugs you that much just ignore it, I get that...

Same here. Haven’t used it yet but I have it and it works great.

A cousin is making them and selling them on UTV INC????

Option 1. Team Ford in Vegas. You probably have to get on a waiting list. This is where I got my 2017 and Team Ford is amazing! Option 2 do a weekly nationwide search on Autotrader and cars.com. Most the Midwest dealers are selling at msrp and I found one in NJ and Tenn at msrp

These guys make pretty affordable stuff: OutbackEquipped Products

A longer spring with the same rate is not the same as a shorter spring with the same rate.

I just installed the mopar rings today. I had to grind them a bit but I painted them black so for now they look sharp and work great!
