Full Cantilever Rear = 20" Usable Rear Wheel Travel

[Darthyota]

huh i would have thought the rear end would drop out more then what it appears to in the pics. would a spring under version drop out more or cycle more travel?

So what front stage is the Raptor pictured running? Oh and why is there a picture of a chevy in there too lol?

I could totally stress test that for y'all I did tear off one of my shock mounts

Perhaps I missed it being posted,
But will the spare tire still fit under the bed and can the exhaust be maintained as the factory exit?

Also, I'm wondering what kind of mechanical advantage there is?
With the shocks in the original location, there is a 1:1 ratio of movement. The rear axle move up or down 1" the shock compressed or extend 1".

With this set up, are the numbers the same? Or is there a mechanical advantage? Less shock movement for the same travel the smaller the shock can be.

Joe, I looked at this in person at TRR. The spare tire location is occupied by the cantilever mechanicals, so the spare will have to go in the bed. The same goes for the exhaust, it looks to me like it will have to be dumped before the axle.

Can you explain how you're achieving 2" of additional uptravel without notching the frame or messing with the bed?

GREAT LAKES RAPTOR EXCURSIONS

Motion ratio was going to be my next question, or more specifically, is the shock motion ratio progressing as it compresses into the bumps, and if so, how progressive is the motion ratio. Is motion ratio ploted on a graph we can look at?

They have both a raptor and a Chevy they were testing out at TRR. Never really asked why they brought the Chevy.
