    PNW Customs 3rd Brake Light

    Thanks man. I'll say that i have seen personally seen and touched all the lights except Evil and BPD (never heard of BPD) and they are all very high quality. What makes mine different/better is mine are plug and play with the exception of the BD lights, but every light will require running the...

    Gen 1 Vs Gen 2 Shocks Facts Only

    You should be able to just push the cap down, remove the circlip and pull the cap out. Then just chuck it in a vise with some soft jaws and finish tapping. maybe find a used lathe chuck to clamp it in if you need more force and don't want to put some flat spots on the cap.

    New suspension components

    Saw this in one of the fb groups. I know this guy and he’s a super smart engineer and has done quite a bit of work in the mountain bike industry. I have no doubt he’s got quality products for the Gen 3 https://indexsuspension.com/

    GEN 1 Quick question factory fox shocks

    If you can cycle the shock, then there is air in the main chamber. I assume you cycled the IFP until no bubbles came up in the main chamber? This is my sequence and has worked pretty well. Chances are the IFP is bottomed and not purging all the air from the main chamber. 1. install the IFP...

    Shock Therapy getting into Raptors

    I'm not quite sure what you mean. Front shims are not the same as rear shims. Valve body my be the same but that would be very hard to measure and verify. I'd bet the valve is the same on all Gen 1 shocks, just the shim thickness, diameter and quantity vary between the 4 different part #s.

    Shock Therapy getting into Raptors

    The difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2 shocks is huge. Aluminum body, more side stacks and bigger internals. Fox is not going to do anything to "upgrade" the gen 1 shocks so its up to the aftermarket to take the technology improvements and apply them to the Gen 1 shocks. But, unless you do...

    Shock Therapy getting into Raptors

    I saw this video the other day. I’m curious as to what they do for their “proprietary” valving. I wonder if they add more bleed holes and valves to the bypass tube I’ve run a few different “shim tunes” and honestly couldn’t feel any difference. I think modifying the bypass is where you’ll...

    GEN 1 Shock rebuild

    Have you looked at shock seals for the seal kits? Thats where i get my seals and i use Kartek for the valves, but i use the RPG valves so i don't have to drill and tap the shock. If you don't use the schrader valves you need a needle and then you fill it like a basketball. Problem with that...

    Gen 2 Front Strut Bushing Source?

    looks like they're all the same. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2011,f-150,6.2l+v8,1447336,suspension,shock+bushing,10885

    GEN 1 Shock rebuild

    I don't know what the IFP bottoming sounds like but that could be the culprit. If you bottomed the IFP out when you installed the main shaft, that could be the cause. After i cycle the IFP a few times to bleed the air, i pull it up a few inches, then install the shaft and top cap. If you...

    Fast Turn Signals But Hazard Lights Are Normal?

    you should also check your BCM. I had issues with the Alpharex LED tail lights. I'm pretty sure the resistors went out on them and caused a code in the BCM so even with good lights i got hyper blink. I used this tool to scan and clear the code. Looks like its not available but you should be...

    Finally picked up my Gen 1 — now the fun starts!

    I'd definitely do # 1, 2 and 3. As for the sunroof, I've always been curious how people have issues with the drain tubes. I get that they drain into the body panel but i'm confused how they actually accumulate water. When my sunroof is closed, its sealed pretty tight to the roof so I'm not...

    Bed Supports

    The tie rods come out pretty easily, which would just leave the lugs sticking up, but those are only 1.5-2in tall. Removing the rest would be a little more involved, having to pull the tail light to get at the bolts and pulling the bed bolt. You might be able to fabricate a nut plate for the...

    Interior modifications, anything else you guys have added?

    I hydro dipped my door handles and they came out really good. I just bought a kit from Amazon and did it myself. It’s not super hard, you just need a decent size water tank Maybe do a couple practice parts to get the technique

    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    Very unlikely they will come down in price. Summit had them for 450 and then went 800 each so I’d buy them now if you need them or just do the exchange and save yourself some money

    3rd Brake Light

    I don’t have a Gen 3 to do test fitting Plus i think it will increase the machining cost too much for me. GJ and RPG make one with a camera mount
