@ironside Threads don't mean anything. Measure from the ground to the bottom of your fender.
I have like 5 threads on one side and the other is like 12 to make it even. Put your truck on level ground when measuring. I think my truck is at 43 1/2"

Ok just wanted to check. I'll measure where I'm at now and shoot for that when I have them installed.

This week is going to be interesting.
1 Icom install
2 Run Power for cyclones (Yay for hand in the razor sharp hellhole again)
3 and Dual mid-perches with my rig and Mogo's probably
4 Finding an alignment shop that can actually handle a raptor (way more difficult than I had assumed)
5 And the non run related install's include Rigid D2 fog kit and 20" Lightbar on Mogo's truck (Hand in razorblade factory round 3!!!)
Anybody else having a mad dash to the finish type of prep week?

Hah that's nothing.

I have, in true night raptor fashion,

Saturday, reinstall fox front 3.0
Weld vertical mounts for dsc reservoirs

ReInstall rear fox 3.0

Cut and weld on lab raptors king reservoir mounts.

If svc sends my light tower in time I have to install that. Order actuators, machine adapters, order heim joints and tabs, Wire up actuators, weld on actuator mounts, run wires for lights, VHF antenna, and program Plc for actuator's and future light installs. Paint it (not in chronological order)

Possibly some lab raptor borrowed lights also

Pick up placards,

Finish up routes,

And I know there will be more.

And that schedule is all based on wether or not UPS ***** me. Which if history repeats itself will happen.

O forgot mid flap install too

I am really starting to feel under-geared for this run comparing my rig to everyone else's I haven't even finished mid-perch yet, let alone get any of my suspension upgrades ordered or installed.

You'll be more than fine.

The rest of us just decided to give up hookers and blow so we had some extra cash laying around we spent on our raptors. It's a group support type thing

Maybe that's what I need to do...... But how will they pay for college/kids/granparents/lame excuse if I stop?

I should note none of that is specific to this run. Shocks needed rebuild after 30k miles, and the tower has been in the works for months.,

Iirc and please sdbr people correct me if I'm wrong but only Yukon and I had upgraded suspension during sdbr. Everyone else ran stock and had a blast and wanted more. A fair amount not even on mid perch.

You'll be surprised what a stock raptor can handle.
