How many have gone the SDI Top Hat route to level?

@Johnny@Apollo-Optics Any chance SDI will come out with a top hat with slightly less lift, like around 1" to 1.25"? The current 1.75" top hat levels the truck unloaded but it will squat as soon as there is any load in the bed (for me, 2-3 dirt bikes) which I'd like to avoid. I'm also not looking to raise the rear.

Thanks for the rate. I was quoted 3 hours at $200 per hour and didn’t expect that. You validate my thinking

So you have a 2024 Raptor R or ?

I wont say 0% likely, however very unlikely.

RPG has released a 1” top hat recently however which we do carry.

Thanks for the heads up about the 1" RPG top hat. Does that employ the same concept of part spacer + part preload to get the lift?

And are there and pros/cons of RPG moving away from the rubber bushing to FK Rod Ends uniball bearings?

Pros is that it removes the weak part by the OEM being the weak part in the OEM that causes the shock to bust through
