I’ve been reading on the FRF for a while so I thought I’d check in. I bought a 2019 Raptor Ruby Red about two years ago with about 20K miles. Now it has 52K. The obligatory pic:
I thought the truck was completely stock. However, I recently got under the truck to inspect the OEM fox shocks to see if they needed replacement/rebuild. My plan was to pick up an extra set of shocks so I can swap out shocks and send my current ones in for a rebuild without having the truck down and I’m anticipating the need for replacement leaf springs (probably deavers) at some point but I’d rather not do the leaf springs until it’s necessary. For now, the truck is still level with off-roading gear (RPG rack for vertical tires, two spares, PE jack, Maxtraxs, pelican case with tools and recovery gear) and me and passengers.
Anyway, I didn’t notice any problems with the OEM shocks, but I did notice this where the factory bump stops should be:
I’m not sure what these are but it’s clearly not the factory bump stops. Any idea what these are?
I thought about replacing whatever these are with factory bump stops but from what I’ve read the factory bump stops do not offer much protection. I off road with some frequency but nothing too serious in East TN. Occasionally go to the dunes or on the occasional raptor run. I have not intentionally jumped the truck as it’s my daily driver. Should I just skip the factory bump stops and pick up the RPG bump stop kit?
