h&m racing design ford raptor long travel kit (clean post)

[canamds450]

I'm really confused.... Why would you put a long travel on the front, do nothing to the rear and expect it to keep up with the front? Makes no damn sense!

Because i spent almost 18k$ on the front. I thing first mod needed to be at least a bump stop kit to save the frame while i save for a rear suspension set up.
ntn has a long travel at the front with stock travel at the rear, but he gas a bump stop

What size tires are those, 40's?

Those are 35" grabbers

He also has rear 3.0 shocks and leaf springs. Kind of makes a huge difference in performance over stock shocks and stock leaf springs.

Honestly, with how this build has gone for you, just go with the ICON RXT kit and bump stop. It's the easiest and you'll at least gain some travel out of it.

It would most certainly be the most intelligent decision.



Another factor canamds450 is missing is that his long travel kit is clearly not tuned very well with way too much spring rate and damping. It'll be transferring a lot more stress to the rear than my properly tuned long travel front.

But let's just throw more money at it everything will work out.

I'd still be willing to bet that 3.0s all around and Deaver +2's with a bump kit would have been plenty to handle the harsh Panamanian terrain, cruising to and from work. But we just skipped that solution and dove right off the deep end.

I know the terrain he is talking about, it's more
square edged, high shaft speed stuff. None of the 3.0 offerings are really that much better on that stuff. But then, neither is a long travel kit with a ton too much of spring rate and dampening.
