Gen 2 OE rear shocks on gen 1

There are ways to do it. Limiting straps among other things and there will be less if any damage.

Be the test case. Go on a run. Send it. Test it. Prove that there are no issues with it.

Jesus Christ dude I AM NOT SAYING THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEMS I AM JUST TRYING TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GET ANSWERS. i am not trying to prove anyone wrong i am literally just asking for real world experiences.

Raptors are already near the limit for cv angle stock. Normal trucks ie f150 are not, so a tophat spacer (which makes the overall length longer) is no big deal. So on a "normal" truck it is a cheap and viable way to raise it. On a raptor, it is already "raised" so if you want to go more then you need to go mid or top perch. Or a front long travel that brings the wheels out wider/higher but keeps a reasonable cv angle.

Thank you thats what i was looking for. That makes sense.

Also does a top hat spacer have the same effect as a longer shock does?

In this case. Yes it does.

I didn’t realize you wanted a detailed explanation of how geometry changes in suspension when you add a longer piece. Especially when the suspension is already pretty much maxed out.

So in all reality, if you knew that adding a spacer that lifted the truck by 1-2” was bad for the geometry because of the INCREASED LENGTH of the suspension, what makes you think that adding 1-2” of height to the truck by adding LONGER suspension was any better?

If you don’t have these shocks installed on your gen 1 you should keep your comments to your self.

No thanks. This is the internet. If you have a different opinion, express it, or **** and ***.

Troll. I gave him a legit answer to his question.

If you think you have to have something installed to understand how suspension works and how geometry works, you’re absolutely wrong.
