GEN 2 SDI Top hat/ Deaver +4 HD!!!

[Turbro]

It's great for adjustability. From what I read the top hats are better. I need or needed the ajustability for my situation. DD, then Tow vechile, then offroad vechile. The DD need is gone for me at this point. The tow vechile will only be for certain situations now. Bought a Navigator for those duties as the family has outgrown a truck.

Got some decisions to make by the end of the year.

1. Keep the Gen2 and build it more
2. Swap for a Gen3 and build it
3. Swap for a Superduty with a Carli build
4. Build a Transit
5. Wait till the kids are gone then decide to get back in the offroad game. Offroad the wife's Rivian when she is not paying attention. Haha

Thanks for getting back and with the helpful info. Like I said hoping to stay with 35’s for now and trying to decide between +3 and +4..I’m trying to avoid the stink bug look,but the truck has a roll up bed cover and will potentially tow a 26’ boat short distances. It will definitely be seeing dirtbikes in the bed as well. If I go +4 worse case I get lowering shackles and/or couple of sand bags live in the bed. BTW the truck is a 2017 F-150 5.0 SCAB that we are swapping Raptor suspension,fenders etc.

Cool swap!

I only have experience with stock springs and the current +4’s on my Raptor, but all I can say is I am super happy with how it rides on and off road, and how much more confidence we have towing now with the +4’s

Here is a pre Deaver picture with my 20’ trailer, and 2000lb side by side in it

Glad to help! Just remember they will take some time to break in and settle, and ride quality will also improve once settled. Enjoy being able to boot it without wheel hop!!

Damn I was about start ordering parts for my 2020 suspensions refresh & thought I was set on +3HD deavers w/ either the SDI/TSW top hats OR rpg adjustable collars….i think my mind is made that the top hats would be better overall & that +4HD would be better choice to make sure there’s still a factory rake stance, I do a long 2k mile roundtrip vaca once a year w/ 2 kids 2 dogs wife towing 2 jetskis & a bunch of gear, also like to use my raptor as a truck towing utility trailer etc & while I don’t have a camper rack on back, I have soft folding tonneau & 150 lbs of gear in it at all times.
