Talk to Brad and tell him you want the mcmanus special... They still think i am nuts for lowering the front end.. Lol

That's funny! they've got you pegged right. I want my truck to sit completely level so not sure if I should mess with the ICON factory height setting or not. I think I will run RCV shafts when I get the new style cup.

Mine is a top+ setting... Love it! No issues so far!

What rear springs are you running?

What rear springs are you running?

Factory rear springs, just like the ICON Raptor does.

Factory rear springs, just like the ICON Raptor does.

I figured. Yeah when I first went to top perch I was on factory rears and it sat perfectly level but as soon as I went to the National HD springs it sat nose high by about 1 1/2"-2".

Same with my Deaver +2's.

So did you loose height in the rear with Deaver +2's?

 

[Yukon Joe]

Here was the difference on my national spring change out.

There was over a 2 inch difference. Remember Greg, when we got our springs, the RPG standard was at 1.5 inch less than stock ride height. It want until a month or two after TRR that custom arch above the -1.5" was available. Now the nationals come at the stock ride height, unless some one asks for less.

I guess what I'm suggesting is, your rear isn't slacked out, but started lower from first replacement.

I havent measured it, but it sure looks like it

Stock rear springs, top perch:


Deaver +2's, Outlaw Bump stop:

With 3 dirtbikes in the back those Deavers sure do get low. Nice ride though with the weight in the back surprisingly. Wouldnt go back to stock. Just worried about payload with Deavers

I understand that.. But I wasn't slapping bump stops going down the highway either back then. I will get pictures and measure tonight..

Cody and Jimmy commented how low the back end looks.. Mine looks like a low rider compared to jimmy's raptor..
