I see you're from Tennessee....You know, the toothbrush was invented in Tennessee! If it had been invented anywhere else, they would have called it a "teeth-brush" LOL....
He probably lives near that nuclear reactor they have out that way

I probably shouldn't have flamed him that bad...He probably doesn't know any better. I spent years driving lifted trucks too and it wasn't until I drove a Raptor that I understood how ****** up my thinking was.

Now, I'm into the performance aspect of 4 wheel drive. As we all know (most of us anyway), there is no performance in a lifted truck. Lift kits are strictly for looks. It literally is the worst kind of POSER truck. It's like having a funny car body on top of a kid frantically pedaling a tricycle.

You all feel free to flame me anytime, I can take it.

I don’t understand how springs help more than spacers with the live shocks. If springs add 1” of ride height and a spacer adds 1” of ride height, the shocks don’t know where that height is coming from..

I get that the spring rate will be different with springs vs. spacers but don’t understand the difference from the perspective of shocks.

I have a 19 and was also interested in leveling out the truck but I’m far too ignorant to buy anything yet!

I own a construction company. I have owned literally hundreds of trucks over the past 30 years and several military vehicles.

What you just said is literally moronic.

I could turn a Ford Raptor into a monster truck that would be far more “capable” than a stock Raptor.

There’s a reason why the military doesn’t run 30” tires with 6” of ground clearance. It’s because it’s more “capable” with a higher stance, less ground pressure, better approach angles, etc...

Ready lift is shit! You should have done your homework here before wasting your money!

I’ll survive the $200.00 hit bro.

Readylift 2” level kit worked perfect gor 300K miles on my 2011 Raptor.

I’m putting Eibach springs on now. If that doesn’t improve the ride, I’ll gut it all and go to a 4” lift and shitcan the spaghetti wired Fox 3.0’s.

Why dont you go buy a Toyota or a dodge and stop destroying Raptors? Your posts are a blinding beacon of ignorance.

Stop destroying Raptors? You sound like a tool.

I put 300K miles on my 2011 Raptor with 37’s on a 2” Readlift level kit. It rode great, and it never needed and major maintenance.

I see you’re from Washington. Are there any heterosexuals left out there?
