Wouldn’t run chains the tolerance is way too tight & depending how many miles on the suspension & how new the tires are you can get rubbing in front @ full lock in certain scenarios w/ NO mods or chains.
Can you add studs to the nittos?
I run studded Nokian hallapellitas (spelling?) dedicated...
Weird, my SCT tuner (Gearhead tune) I had on my 2018 Raptor that got totaled….Gearhead was able to email/sell me a new tune for the 2020 for essentially the price of a re-tune I think it was like $250/$300
Your use basis seems similar to mine except I don’t have the bed rack setup, I do have a tonneau cover & a small toolbox & misc stuff I always have in the bed all in probably amounts to 150 lbs total constant static weight.
You’re about 41.25” front & 42.75” rear, bout 1.5” rake, if I did the...
I’m about to do a refresh on my truck I wanna essentially keep factory rake, add 1” or so of height, not have bad rear sag when towing twin jet ski trailer & have bed full of random gear & family in cab
Plan was live valve rebuild shocks by hammer
Sdi top hat 1.75”
Deaver +3HD w/ factory...
Damn I was about start ordering parts for my 2020 suspensions refresh & thought I was set on +3HD deavers w/ either the SDI/TSW top hats OR rpg adjustable collars….i think my mind is made that the top hats would be better overall & that +4HD would be better choice to make sure there’s still a...
I still haven’t pulled trigger on upgrading my 2020 suspension w/ 80k miles all 4 shocks are now doing the buzzing thing at startup & my leafs are squished & I even get slight rub in front….BUT given how much a pita the live valve rebuild situation is, no guarantee (from what I can tell) that...
My rears started buzzing on my 2020 around 70k miles intermittently, now @ 80k miles & it’s @ every startup & occasionally while driving & now @ least 1 of my front shocks is buzzing too…honestly…it’s very annoying that Ford & Fox haven’t developed some program to have the shocks rebuilt through...
Mines doing it on both rears now, drivers side started a while ago, now passenger, 80k miles otherwise perfect truck…kinda sucks hearing Gen3s have issue too, the suspension is a lot of what makes these trucks what they are and the complete & utter lack of support from both Ford & Fox is a...
You can remove the studs….but why would you want to? Driving a Raptor on studded snows in the winter is about as capable in that environment as driving a Porsche GT3 on pilot super sports @ the track lol!!
All seriousness? I run these on my Raptor in winter & did remove the studs only b/c I...
Raptor is the 1st vehicle I ever owned where I could actually notice a change when I swapped the plugs & I swapped em early - I’ve had 2 an 18 & currently 20, could immediately feel a smoother idle & smoother power delivery after swapping out @ 30-35k miles. Granted…these were my first turbo...
Hey just an FYI/update on this JLT catch can & changing it- I just got 1-2oz out of it (I empty the catch can every oil change) & one thing I noticed was there was oil residue around the canister & the fittings- the canister had actually backed off a couple threads, wasn’t entirely sealed- it...
I live in MA. I Could buy a Raptor R w/ no ADM tomorrow (emphasis on “I” but if you wanna talk dealers in MA area DM me) would NEVER pay that BS especially for quite literally the most common vehicle in the country (albeit w/ a few extras like a blower bolted on, some sweet shocks & fenders lol)...
I bet that’s been your issue on the last one too lol!! That’s crazy…how many miles?
I have a heavily modded vette & @ one point during its life after being supercharged for a bit it started running very rough- I had detailed the engine bay & powdercoated the coil brackets so I thought maybe one...
Cool- I just made the call to refresh/rebuild the suspension on my ‘20 w/ 79k miles vs consider swapping for a new on, instead gonna pick up a small fun 4 door car (manual trans mandatory) to take over the majority of my DD duties….Civic Si, Jetta GLI, Elantra N, Integra & WRX are on the list...
Ahhhh….another friendly reminder that it’s all fine & dandy to own a boat you can’t trailer on your own….until you need work done on it & want a quote besides the marina or the marina’s buddy OR you NEED to move it & need it moved on your time.
Smart thinking…hopefully you brought it to the top...
Ummm yeah….i think that’s the difference here, either you’ve driven a well tuned Raptor or you haven’t, if you have….I simply don’t see how you could choose a truck that can’t be tuned over one that can
Yeah but I don’t know how “serious” it really is, had some fluid around that axle seal area myself but have had the front diff/tcase fluid change 3x since I bought it & either it’s stopped leaking or it’s such a minimal amount it doesn’t effect fluid levels in between changes
No way- IF you could get a full set of 4 new OEM live valve shocks for $2000 that would 100% be the way to go, & a core swap rebuild deal on all 4 is gonna run $1200ish according to these rebuilders & I can’t remember if that was w/ shipping costs included.
You put brand new OEM live valves for...
Do you all think a 1.5” collar combined w/ deaver +3HD or +4HD would have a similar degree of rake as stock while adding 1.5” overall ride height? I need to refresh my suspension & since I tow sometimes and/or drive around w/ few hundred lbs in bed + 2 kids/dogs/wife etc I really don’t wanna...
