Deavers for the new Raptor

[crash457]

He doesn't have a bump stop, he is still OEM. You can see the rubber foam bump still attached to the frame.

Yes, but the factory block has a tab on it for the bump stop. When you install the Deavers, you remove the block. Without a new bump stop strike plate, you'll alter the point that the suspension bottom out.

all the aftermarket bumpstops have the deaver+3 accounted for as an option when ordering the bumpstop it adjusts for the increase

i did all my homework. will be done right or will be full blown redneck. either way will get'er done

Just wrapped up my RPG stage 3 install with Deaver+3.....to sum up the install....I wont ever be doing that again lol. No seriously the install blows hard.

Wont get to try it till next week, have to drop my front coilovers to a shop on Monday so they can install my Eibach springs.

Maybe its the added bump stop plate but I have maybe an inch on the end of mine, I just left them.

Nope, my wire was able to wrap around it.
Hardware came from deaver.

Dunno...

Not much ride change with the Deaver +2 correct?

 

[Sitdown]

Got my +3s in this week. I can repeat what I said after installing them on my '12... best mod for these trucks, hands down. Bigger price tag for what they are, but worth it.

With my bedrack, and after out last trip, my stock leafs had sagged quite a bit. I'm now back up to stock height with all the gear in bed. May settle some still, and still don't have my rear winch mounted but hoped for a slight front high stance. Currently perfectly level with 3" collars @ a little over 42" fender to ground in all corners. I did get the rear shackles to drop the rear, but held off installing to see how much it settles and keep the cushier ride for the time being
