Jake's Raptor Build

Double post sorry

The cantilever set-up allows me to get longer travel numbers comparable to a bedcage with shock through the bed, but lets me keep the bed space mostly intact. I race mx and often get roped into moving people so losing the whole bed wasnt an option for me. Plus the shocks are safe and sound tucked up in the front of the bedside.

Any idea on how much travel you should be getting?

Nice, Jake.

When is that sway bar coming off?

Parting with your swaybar is a must if you desert romp regularly, IMO.

So guys, went out for the first round of dirt testing today to get the shocks dialed in. I am absolutely blown away! The performance is even better than i expected, and the only unhappy situation is that the front just cant keep up. After a couple adjustments the shocks were working very well and i was hitting terrain faster and with more confidence than i ever had before. She stays stable over the worst i could find and the light racing bumpstops make bottoming a much less painful experience. Look for some videos soon! Here are some teaser pics, the truck isnt wrapped up yet (paint, vinyl, inner fender liners and a couple other little things) but damn did i have a good time today. Cant wait to have my baby back for good.








More info/ride impressions to come but i had to share the taste i got today.

And i'll get on that swaybar! Completely spaced it.
