Geiser Bro's Raptor Progressive Springs

[2014RubyRed]

Super easy, but you'll either need a shop that has a heavy enough spring compressor, if you don't have one.

But here is a quick break down of swapping out the front coils, which i did myself with the help of some buddies, one being @m3dragon:

1. Remove tires
2. Loosen top shock nuts (15mm)
3. Remove tierod end from Spindle/knuckle
4. Remove lower shock nut/bolt
5. Remove UCA from spindle/knuckle and support the spindle/knucle with a bungee
6. Remove shock, this will be a little tricky trying to get it out from the LCA, but you can with some pressure
7. Once shock is removed either:
a. Take to a shop to remove old and install new, will probably charge about $40
b. Compress coil
c. Remove coil bucket on top, can be tricky with the top nut, but an impact can do it.
d. Replace coils
8. **NOTE** Your “SVT” on the lower spring cup will probably not line up like it did stock, deal with it.
9. Reverse the top steps to install the shock with the new progressive springs.

All in all it took us about 4 to 5 hours to swap out both springs and get my truck back on the ground.

If anyone is local to Sacramento, we can help. We have a heavy duty spring compressor and a shop to help.

Great information. I appreciate your time....

PM sent. What about the rear? Is Deavers the only/best option?

Check the many threads. The only bad springs are the ones not made correctly. Many run national, WSI and deaver. Some do the add a leaf and done run Atlas. The last two are the cheapest options.

I'm in.

Do you even have a Raptor? Lol....

So looking for folks in the DC area (MAFRA, looking at you) getting these interested in doing a "Spring Upgrade" get-together. Anyone have the space and tools to do the upgrade willing to help out if we can get a schedule?

Bumping to the top if anyone else wants a set of springs
