Brenthel long travel install

Almost no difference in weight at all on the back end of the raptor vs a normal f150. The weight differences are simply the larger motor, heavier shocks, larger tires, and a little more meat in the rear axle.
A raptor is just an f150 with some offroad stuff bolted to it ! And hence, when you bolt a bunch of offroad stuff to an f150, it weighs the same.
Most bumps are the same as a shock. Oil, valving, and nitrogen.

apples to apples f150 crew to std cab is 1k dif……specs don't lie…..as far as raptor probably more of a difference compared to my truck……

all bumps air or hydro (air over oil) come in any bore/stroke combo……..A.D.D sells a bolt on kit with the same king hydro 2.5 x 2.5 bumps (similar to the ones on the front of ur truck)…..50psi recommended per A.D.D.

what kit was on the rear of your truck running 120 psi??? very light compression valved hydro or an air bump?

my experience with visually inspecting linked trucks,,,,,usually a longer stroke air bump seems to be popular complementing the bypass…….

I was using fox 2.5x2.5. Most guys run them between 90 and 200. My front 2.5's are at 160.
50 is extremely low.


I'm slicing and dicing on the bed to get clearance at the moment. Stock bedsides would need to have their wheel well lip cut off, possibly pulled, and the inner wheel well removed.

almost looks like you'll lay frame at full bump

Not quite, that's with the axle articulated, so the tire will be an inch or two lower at full bump in a g-out.

Just shipping is cheaper.




Those are just vibration dampers to eliminate nvh from the rear brake assembly.
That's about as far out as you can put the axle brackets before you're binding the poly bushings at the frame. No advantage to going wider, I've got them right up against the brake caliper on the drivers side/panhard mount. Actually made a slightly shorter caliper guide pin and bolt so that I could push them out as far as possible. The nvh dampers aren't a factor.

I think I'm going to try to sneak a set of bumps right on the outside of the frame. If there's not quite enough clearance, they'll get mounted right in the frame itself.
I'm kind of keeping track of stuff I'm buying for use I terms of limit strap lengths, brake line lengths, bolt sizes etc.

Thanks for the heads up on the damper thingies.

It looks like that pic is at full bump? What hits first, the axle tubes? Panhard?

I'm considering trussing my rear end... any plans for that?

Axle and panhard hit at the same time.
If the axle needs to be trussed, it'll be getting replaced with a trussed 9". Lipstick on a pig and all that.

Currie with a 9" ring gear, just because it can be ordered with the reluctor wheels on the floaters for abs.
