Geiser 2.5 in springs -shock Compression sag travel loss

[Slow6]

On the settling comment, I have had my Geisers for several months and I have driven close to 3000 miles with no additional settling. There was some initial settling right after they were installed, but I just measured them yesterday and they are still at the same height from the day I brought the truck home.

Did Geiser give any info as to the Spring rate? I've been looking at threads and can't find it anywhere on the forum or anywhere...

I’m a Nimrod so I’m going by seat of the pants not real numbers.
The 37” tires with no rubbing is part of the deal. In Baja where a lot of the terrain sees 40” tires 37’s are a big step up from 35’s and the Geisers got that for me.

The Geisers feel stiffer especially on low speed stuff like speed bumps in a parking lot.

At speed they seem to work amazing, at least to me. They soak stuff up that blows my mind. The faster I go the better they work, of course that’s up to a point and I’m not talking about 3 foot whoops.
It is a big step up from my Gen 1.

The Geisers with +2 Deaver’s and the stock 3” Fox shocks on 37” BFG’s with 22 pounds of air works amazing. Even if I had an extra $5500.00 I doubt I’d get the aftermarket Fox shocks.

I’ve also owned an Alumicraft 4 seater and my 2017 raptor is nowhere near as fast on the rough stuff (not even close) but it’s by far my favorite for off-roading. I love the set up I have right now. Yes the butt is a hair low with +2’s but I grew up watching Mickey Thompson Stadium racing and to me that’s how an Offroad Truck is supposed to look. I’m old what can I say? To each his own, you might not choose to go this route but man oh man is she fun to me.

Feel free to call Baja HQ and ask them questions about it. They’d love to help you.

PS. Be sure to ask them about winning the Baja 1000 in Trophy Truck on Saturday!

Last one for now.
Cameron Steele has ridden with me in my Shortbus, he races TT’s (Just won the Baja Mil) and is a Co-Owner in The Baja HQ shop for raptors and actually owns 2 Raptors. One they put the full RPG long travel kit on front and rear and the other only has the Fox aftermarket shocks on it. He thought my truck worked great, we’re friends, he wouldn’t say that just to be nice or to sell parts.
Anyways call them and ask them any questions, like I said they love making stuff go!

I wondered about all the shock tuning and valving but after I switched to the Geisers she worked so much better that I stopped thinking about it. I’ve also read that using the perch spacer effects the stroke too but I don’t understand how. Supposedly it’s over compressed?
I’m not an engineer, I’m not stupid but I’m not brilliant either.
I would like to get the aftermarket Fox shocks for the front but she works really well, at least for me so maybe after I get another light bar to go with the Baja designs fog pocket lights she already has I’ll start saving for the front Fox shocks.

Anyways we’re all a bit different and in the end if you have fun and love your truck then that’s pretty cool.

Awe nuts. One more. I’ve heard from some peeps we race against that also own an upfitter and Trophy Truck shop that they didn’t like the way the Eibachs worked at all.

Just FYI, do your research, things change and products get better.

^ Good info and insight, I am only upgrading to new Fox Shocks if I become rich lol. At this point I am going to enjoy my Geiser and Deaver combo for what it is. Like you said you just have to realize the limit of your specific vehicle and stick within that range. No 3' whoops for me neither lol

I did not ask about the spring rate...

I bought them after lots of research on this forum and I have no regrets.

Thanks Nimrod! Saw your post on the Offroad forum wondered where you were and if would see you. I’m going with your setup but plus 3s in back. Thanks again!

Remember it will be stiffer on the road. She’ll lose that super plush ride but it won’t be bad, it’s just not as soft as it was on the highway. It’s no biggie to me but just wanted to make sure I mentioned it again. There’s trade offs for everything.
