Icon vs Deavers

[Swaddict]

I'm sorry to invade another guys post with a question about my truck. But I also want to level up the Raptor.
I was told by a local outfit (4 Wheel Parts) to go with a Readylift kit that raises the front 2.5" and has a 4" block that raises the back 1" making the truck perfectly level.
Anyone know about this particular leveling kit ?

Not the best advice for a Raptor, just do springs in the front to level

Both are probably pretty similar and I can almost guarandamntee that Deaver makes Icons springs so quality is probably the same, each probably has the pluses and minuses.

This is pretty much what I’m doing, but instead of the block, I’m buying the Deavers +3 to get the inch and a better overall ride, I was told the blocks weren’t the smart way to go

Did you say Readylift? Rotfl



Go with some of the more known brands for raptors. Not saying readylift is bad but you paid $$$ for high end suspension don’t through it away with the cheap way out. Not at that small difference in price with what you are going for.

If it was a Chevy I’d say go for it, the faster those break and get out of the way the better! Ahah

Also there are many many threads on leveling out the truck and the exact parts best recommend for it.

If you off-road your truck don't do it. A collar and a set of springs will do the job.

Skip the ReadyLift, skip the gigantic blocks and most importantly, do not ever call 4 Wheel Parts for anything Raptor related. A 2.5” front lift and a 4” block under your leafs will make your truck site 1 3/4” higher in the back, which in my book is nowhere near “level”. 4WP is a one stop lift shop for everything non-Raptor, so they do not have a clue about what is right for our trucks. If all you sell is hammers, then everything looks like a nail...

As others have said, do icons or Deaver +3s in the back, which removes the unwanted factory blocks. Do Geiser progressive springs or one of the reputable Raptor Perch collars and you will be very close to level with a much better setup for your truck.

Deavers, there is no substitute. They have been in the game the longest and are the most reputable and the most sought after leaf sprigs in the offroad industry.

never run a lift block it's sad that these "performance" truck are fitted with lift blocks from the factory.

So Deavers +3 for the back and Geiser springs or something like the RPG front collars up front. what's the real difference between the springs and the perch collars up front ? Is one better then the other ?

If a sales person suggested a "lift block" on any truck I owned, I'd ask to hold the block in my hand... then proceed to beat them in the head with it. Or, a least that's how violently I'm apposed to a "lift block".
