Well said Greg

OP u have to remember its a production vehicle not a one off race truck its not perfect. Like already said we didn't pay that e travel 20k but lots of members here have spent extra money probably less than 20k and made the truck practically bullet proof.

To get a better response, your orginal post should have gone something like this:

This is whats happening with the Raptor............................................... Someone up here must have more experience with a Raptor then me. Whats going wrong with the truck ? Is it something I did not do or need to do. Please help.

You would have been flooded with trouble shooting questions, helpful Raptor owners and great answers.

this entire discussion is pointless, i am talking to a bunch of fanboys.

it seems as though everyone is satisfied with their trucks drooping and hopping straight off from the factory. well good for you. i wont bother arguing anymore. you can curse, bash... do and say whatever you want.

the front perch issue, some dealers will void warranties, many others wont. the official response is.. it might. my dealer is one of those that would void the warranty regardless. since we've got fanboys here, who wont push ford to fix the issue, they go off sending cars accross states/dealers to find perch adjusting friendly dealers. a work around, sooner or later ford might just come up and say... ah well no more perch mods... and im pretty darn sure all the fan boys will sympathize with that and say, oh any mods done to the car should void the cars warranty. but will not push ford and their aggressive branding and marketing of the raptor as a vehicle that shouldn't be drooping and hopping around with easily bumped skid plates.

fine.

to everyone their own.

:) ... have fun paying folks.

My god you're an idiot. I've said it several times. It's not fords fault the front end is low and droopy.

They have to follow the regulations set forth by the DOT. So stop bitching about how a factory vehicle has to follow rules.

And no shit you're talking to fanboys. It's a damn raptor forum. For, you know, raptor owners and fans.....

We've told you how you can fix your "problems" but you don't want to. So **** and sell the damn thing and go but a Nissan gaytroll.

they'd all come up with solutions involving; change trail to something around going in a straight line with few well smoothed curved obstacles, no crests. swap the factory leafs to national leafs. mod my front shocks and void my warranty. completely change the factory skid plates as they cant take the beating.

prolly everything adds up to... 5-10k minimum for a truck that should've run like it should as advertised by ford.
