Yea they're quite heavy and I did notice some power loss, not enough to regear IMO. I'm a Toyo MT fanboy though and won't run anything else ;)

I hear you. Great tires.

I am just about to jump to 37s myself (from 35" MTs) and I decided to try the Ridge Grapplers. Hopefully I don't regret it.

I have read this entire thread. I am only looking for the front end to be level with the rear while keeping factory wheel and tire sizes. If these springs are a little more stiff in the front end would be a plus while braking but not necessary. It seems like the collar kits are sketchy fix to me. The springs seem to be the way to go. Only concern I have about them is the angle of the CVs after spring install. Thoughts??

You'll be nose high not level with geiser, unless you're also planning deavers for the rear. I think eibach is the only spring option to be level but they're also inferior.

thanks kromealt. I will be looking into Readylift leveling kits as that is what the use on the Steeda Raptors and seems to be more of what i am looking for. I have to look into which one to level. 1.5 or 2.5?? any input would be helpful. or if i have missed a thread on it.

Been pounding on mine and like gen1s, think these are exorbitantly better than stock, especially level kits. Rides so nice.

I was hoping they would be taller than the advertised 2" and they are. I'm currently taller than I was on 5th ring of rpg collars (rpg claims 3.5 but I don't think so), I do expect them to settle a smidge.

37" Toyo MT
43.8" front
43.5" rear loaded on +3

Truck looks great.

What bed rack is that?
Is that a roof top tent? Which one?

Thanks

Thanks. It's a Rhino Rack sitting on top a TCUSA American Roll Cover, spent a long time debating between a real rack but wanted a roll cover and to still fit in the garage. Tent is a Treeline Ponderosa (72" wide), sold my CVT for it.

The leveling kits are not recommended for the Raptor. It is much better to do the Geiser springs or if you want to go cheaper, the perch collars from one of the many vendors. (RPG, ICON, etc.)

What if you don't want the full 2.5 inch lift? Could you cut the spring one full revolution? End up with more of a 1.5 inch lift? What do you think?
Thanks

I am not sure it would be worth it to cut the springs. If you want to go less than what they provide, choose one of the lower perch collars or get an adjustable one with multiple height settings.
