Confused & Bewildered Over Suspension Upgrades

[Bracamonte]

Been doing lots of reading here

From what I've been seeing, it seems the Eibachs tend to have more "sag" and compress more then the Geisers over time, at least that's what has been reported by end users of them.

Anyway you slice it, it's getting more and more expensive to actually do a spring upgrade & not a "simple" operation

I'm in the same boat as you. Just need to do the least amount to hold more weight and keep it competent for most general four-wheeling backcountry without changing too much of the appearance.

Upgrading the rear springs is by and far the best performance mod I have done to the truck. I would cut corners on something else before I would on springs. If you are carrying any amount of weight get the HD.

I was in the same boat. CargoGlide in the bed and ARE top. I run Icon Multi Rate leaf Kit in the rear and iCon front leveling kit in front. Added AirRide Load Lifter Pro Bags to assist with towing.

Things keep circling back to bump stops, no such thing as a economical bump stop kit, everything is designed for desert high speed racing…….

I would do +4 HD‘s and if it’s to high in the back just get a drop shackle. They make inexpensive bump stop kits that I’m sure deaver could tell you about. just do the SVC cass system up front and then you can have options up front to get your truck level.

U can just buy the spacers and use factory bumps which (see pic of mine) is better than nothing. Depends on how hard u off road if u need full bump stop kit.

Wife thinks we should sell the Raptor and buy a Tremor.

She is saying that’s financially the best way to proceed, not sure I agree with her, but I also do not want to sell the Raptor

Ford Raptor Bump Pads After Market Springs | Forged Offroad

Upgrading your rear springs is a serious upgrade for sure, however when you remove the OE springs & blocks, it does create a problem. The OE bump stop pad is built into the OE lift block, so unless you are adding an aftermarket bump stop kit (Like our Blood Eagle Bump Stop Kit) you will need our...

here are the ones I was thinking of

I am assuming a 4 week alignment is needed at the time of the spring replacement.

What do you need to look at when it comes to alignments on the Raptor & do you need to upgrade anything when getting the alignment??
