[Stang]

You don't have to remove the sway bar or tie rod nuts either as they show in the video.

They didnt tighten the set screw back up- a non issue im guessing?

It's there to keep the bottom spring mount from moving up. if it could ever really move that direction remains to be seen.
The snap ring keeps it from moving in the down direction.

The set screw is there to keep the bottom spring perch from turning and keep the SVT facing forward.

So all of you that did mid perch, what have you come up with after driving it for a while as far as negatives and positive attributes to the ride .

So far only one guy said he felt the down travel was limited and was harsh when the wheel dropped down compared to stock low perch. Can anybody REALLY CONFIRM that the truck was designed to ride mid perch but then had to be set on the lower perch for height requirements by DOT or whatever. I just want to know if it was really designed around the mid perch setting and the engineers thought that was the bets setup?

According to SVT it was designed for bottom perch and that is where you get the most wheel travel.

Yukon, why are guys saying it's supposed to be mid perch?
Just curious, is it the standard rumor mill.

I'm not sure where the rumor started, but the performance and feel of the truck is liked by many drivers. And the look is much better as well.

I really doubt anyone from Ford or Fox would confirm this. Ford is not helpful and I suspect Fox would be constrained from saying anything overtly helpful. So we just take the rumor at face value.

So I'm gonna guess this raises the roofline of the cab about 2 inches total? I'm on the fence doing this as I probably won't clear my garage anymore.
