Horrible suspension

[Szabo Mihaly]

It's not the compression, it's the slow rebound that's causes the tires to break traction.

Probably set like that from the factory so you can tow a little. Faster rebound would be great for small bump compliance and washboards but then again you couldn't load the bed or tow.

You right somehow but not 100%. The slow rebound causes the tire to brake traction but same time will give the comfort. That means the best rebound setting is to be fastest possible (to have more ground contact) with some comfort. Need to find a ballance You give up comfort for better traction or reverse. I don't have any of that. The car is shaking badly and no traction. And i keep my opinion about the compression is too hard, that's why the whole care is jumping up on a bump. With the soft compression i should not feel the single street bump.

The SSM needs to be flashed by a Ford dealer. Perform a Google search for details. Forscan doesn’t come into play here.

Pfff. But no Ford dealer here for American ones.

Some 2019 F-150 Raptor vehicles built on or before 15-Nov-2018 may exhibit a harsh or bumpy ride during all driving conditions. To resolve this concern, reprogram the vehicle dynamics control module (VDM) using the latest software version of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 18B008 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service

Mine is April 2019. This is a warranty start date. But i dont know the manufacture date. How can i find out?

PM me your VIN and I will send you an OASIS report with your vehicle build date.

I have a 17 Raptor, shocks work great at higher speeds. Which is the way they should. Wish ford worked more on the lower speed though. When the live valve came out I was pissed, sounds like the new ones are not much different? Maybe ford and fox will tweak the 2021/2022 even more. I know coils for the rear are coming, this may help with the ride also. For the price of these things they need to ride better offroad overall.

Before doing anything, can you simply try reducing pressure to 24F/26R ?

I notice that the raptor suspension absorbs larger/longer and fast moving bumps much better than smaller/short bumps.

I observe this everyday near a street by my home.

Theres a speed bump, more of a speed bar.
Looks like this:



I can go over this at 60kph without as much as feeling anything.

But going over a few pot holes down the road feels jarring.

Which makes sense.
It's a high speed off road system better suited at high-speed compression.
