Dude. One of the biggest benefits of live shocks is elimination of body roll. Also elimination of diving under braking. Use your imagination.

I will try to use my imagination but I don't see how a shock can eliminate body rolling.

Some not all complained about the floating feeling when hitting bumps on a curve. You're making it seem like more than what it really is.
I doubt Ford would change these shocks if they won't make any improvements. We shall see. I think you're trying to convince yourself to get a 2018. Any luck?

Hehehe. Well price and $5k discount alone will get me toward 18. I can afford 19 but I am not sold on the live shock and the $3k-$4k increase in same 18 build config from last year without Recaro seat.
I am still waiting for you and others 2019 to be released. I believe more discounts are coming for 18 as soon as 19 hit the streets.

We are all speculating about this live shock. I can't wait to see the reviews on YouTube when people get their hands on it.
I will be ready with my popcorn in my hands, and ears to the ground, making sure I heard everything said!
It's funny how people say that the raptor was great for both off Road and city without issues, but now the new shocks are coming out all of a sudden people are now talking about this live shock fixing floating and nose dive braking effect. How come all of a sudden 2018 is no longer good?
Hehehehehe. I guess this is what life is about! Lol. Humans will never bE satisfied. I want some more.
I hope it is good, I really do, but knowing the tech industry, I believe it will be a buster!

If this live shock ever works, it will be more beneficial for the off-road jumpers! On road drive you won't notice crap! What does it have to adjust when the wheels are already planted on the ground?

You sure typed a lot of characters there. Yet zero actual substance to back up any of your assertions. Please leave your emotions for color choice and quit trying to push your agenda on others.

I hope I am right about the shocks. I will rob it all over your face in due time mate. Sharing is caring

Has anyone done suspension upgrades on a UTV with the live valve shocks yet? That is where we will begin to find the answers were wondering...
I believe Shock Therapy has some valving upgrades or is working on it...Remember the Live shocks are still internal by-pass shocks with valve stacks on the piston that can be changed to suit the driver or terrain...and of course spring changes for the front...

Actually I was rather surprised to hear as many complaints about the "floaty" ride that were posted because I just assumed that Raptor buyers knew this was a mid travel truck and that was a ride character of such...BUT I was more surprised to hear about 50% of Raptor owners would never be taking their Raptor off-road!....WTF?

My last two trucks were set up pre-runner style and "floated" a bit...ha...ha....

It NEVER occurred to me to not take the Raptor off-road..
I mention all this because the guys who whine about the soft ride are basically mall crawlers...
