This is why I went w/ Eibachs on my '18, basic understanding that they will ride better on the street than stock OR geisers & will add some benefit offroad over stock - BUT will not handle whoops/higher speed jumps as well as Geisers when offroading.
I'm assuming the change in ride height in the Eibachs vs. Geiser comparison is different for the 17-18 trucks w/ standard fox shocks, but Eibach would still less lift than Geiser in that application correct? Hope so anyhow.
Personally....I HATE the nose-high look MUCH worse than the heavily raked lower front end look all trucks sport from the factory these days some makes/models more extreme than others, obviously the Raptor isn't as prounounced as an LT Chevy silverado - but still would prefer higher front end & more ground clearance - I don't do hardcore offroading, but do go on some open fields/new england logging roads/trails on occasion. I do tow a 3.5-5k utility trailer once or twice month, tandem jet ski trailer weighing 3500 lbs or so, have 70 lbs in a swingcase tool box 100% of the time on the ass end & a tonneau cover.
I appreciate that Icon & Deaver make quiality products, but at the price point, + install, + need for something additional to make up for a bump stop & like a FMIC its such an obvious mod a dealer could point to in order to push back or drag out a warranty issue (say w/ the driveshaft, rear diff, bearings, shocks etc. - if you don't think possible I got a bridge in Brooklyn for ya lol) that @ this point I'm seriously looking harder at what adding a leaf or 2 to the stock setup would ride/be like. Seems like some members on FRF have done this w/ some success, but haven't had luck getting anyone to reply to a PM or explain how its working long term.
There was a guy said he had it done in Boston & I'm in MA - def would like to know what shop
