Geiser Bro's Raptor Progressive Springs

[JnJraptor]

Was able to get out and do a short desert test by my house today. The trails are slower and can be very rough, only one higher speed section. With the springs on mid they felt about the same as my stock on mid did except for a little more controlled. I always thought stock on mid was on the stiff side for out here but every where else mid performed great. I'm hoping to have the same results with these as most often I get into more open reset not tight, brutal trails. So this really wasn't a great review and I just wasted some of your time. But here's a pic of the truck sitting on mid.

Still no one has taken before/after measurements?

I've also not seen anyone mention spring sag as of yet. For those that have had them on for days/weeks, notice any drop at all over time? From my experience a coil will settle to its final resting position after being under load for a few days.

I took mine to powdercoat so I'm waiting for that before I can install.

Speaking of coating... Would plastidip work and be any better than paint or powder coat?

I did... You gain an inch exactly. As far as spring sag goes I haven't remeasured them but visually I can't tell they have come down any.

You were able to just powder coat right over them or did they have to strip them? Just wondering as I would like to powder coat mine but when I took the stock ones to powder coat they said they needed to be stripped first and I didn't want to pay what they were asking for stripping them.

The stock springs have kind of rubber/plastic coating. That's why I'm asking about what would be a better coating.

I've done a ton of powder coat business and I've never heard of any place not blasting a part before-hand, but I never asked this new place I'm trying out either.

Try the search function. You'll find a couple more threads that discuss all about installation, ride and other neat stuff. If you actually search THIS thread, you may even find a link in plain sight!

I didn't ask about installation, ride or other neat stuff. I asked something related to this specific run of springs which had not been discussed yet since people installed springs from this run, so no I don't need to search.

Well let me know how it goes and how much it runs you. I may powder coat mine before install.
