2013 Raptor Rear shock mount Failure (fox 3.0)

[justvettn]

The rear shocks are tuned by the adjustment valves on the end of the tubes. You can set them however you want.

To the OP, how did you **** your truck?

Maybe that's what it was they could tune the rears but not the fronts, one or the other, can't remember.

Ouch

I don't know how anyone can make any conclusions given the lack of data provided on both failures. All I see is "Raptor Fail"....

It's happened to others before, it's obviously a weak point on the Raptor.

Without knowing what caused it, its a bit harsh to make this statement. I thought the Raptor had hardened steel shock mounts from the F350?

Any shock can be tuned, even the factory OEM shocks that comes standard on raptors can be tuned internally. Because a shock has no outboard or visible adjusters does not man that it cannot be tuned. Adjusting a shock ( rebound/ compression) is not the only way a shock can be tuned or adjusted.
The internals of a shock and be changed, altered and modified, everything from piston, valves, stacks and different oils.

This was one of the weak points SVT guys found. It was supposedly reinforced or they used heavier metal or something. Obviously it is pushing the envelope for the upper mount with the way we are modifying them and running them.
Just one more strengthening place for the suspensions we are running.
I want to raise my 3.0's up so the bottom mount is on the axle and the top mount will have to be higher also eliminating the upper mount all together. I just don't' want to have a cage if I can keep from it. I'm looking at some sort of add on to the frame on the inside of the fender but will probably have to cut a hole for the shock.

A bit harsh, are you serious for real?

Did both sides brake?

Ford Raptor Transfer case Failure.

I'd think he'd have to be going pretty ******* hard to break the front mounting plate off the transfer case
