[QUOTE="Keith88, post: 2048015, member: 62121"] My level kit journey on the 22 Raptor 37pp thus far… Spacer Level (yeah…) This being my first Raptor I had allot to learn. When I first bought the truck the dealer offered to level it for me. I took them up on it. Well… their version of level was to install a 2” spacer on top of the top hat… I didn’t find out that was bad till I joined this group. Lucky for the 8k miles the spacer kit was on it caused no damage. Truck rode fine.. almost like an old caddy but sat 3/4” higher in the front. I didn’t like the look and in turns body roll was a bit much. CV angles didn’t look bad imo. Upper control arm angle was a bit on the steeper side. I didn’t off road the truck during this time but it felt very unstable at high speed. Like it was floating. RPG 1.5” Collar Got these installed. Man what a world of difference. Had the install done by a new dealer and the shocks Zero’d out. Truck sat perfectly level, rode amazing and just felt more idk… planted on the road. Off-roading the truck for the first time with these on and it was a bit stiffer than a friends non modified gen3. I did actually prefer my truck as the stock gen3 still felt mushy. Drove like this for 18,500 miles. No issues. SDI Top Hat I had these installed to see what everyone was talking bout. Getting rid of the “weak point” of the stock top-hats. Truck sat 1/2” nose high and rode just like the spacer level kit. Going through round abouts and taking sharp turns off road was not confidence inspiring. I also at times under hard acceleration the truck would sway side to side like I was riding a wave. Made sure the shocks were zero’s out again… had alignment check but idk… I just didn’t like the feeling. I didn’t get it. Leads us to today… I put the RPG collars back on. I don’t think I’ll do springs as the things I’ve seen blowing out the stock top hats. Just wanted to share my experience. [/QUOTE]
