2023 Shocks at Max Gross Weight...

[Zybane]

I don't do any jumping or anything crazy, but I do run my '23 single valve 37PP at max gross weight in an overland configuration with Eibach HD springs. The truck definitely feels under-valved and bops up and down a lot. Could my shocks be worn out already at 32K miles? Is it possible to upgrade to the dual valve shocks on the 24+ (would that help much)? Or should I ditch the OEM completely and go something beefier?

Does setting them to sport help at all?

You would have to swap entire wiring harnesses and likely at least the VDM to put dual live valves on. They have four pin connectors whereas the single live valves are two pin connectors. I don’t think it’s really feasible. Even if you did that swap, I’m not sure it would solve your problem. Shock tune is based on vehicle weight and spring rate. At max gross weight you are past what any stock raptor shock is intended for. On top of that, the rebound tune is too light for stiffer springs. Your best bet would be to get the shocks you have revalved stiffer both on compression and rebound.
