Need help spending $$

I have all of the things you listed and I vote leaf springs.

If you can do frame support and bumps at the same time, go for it. Leaf springs are practically a must for those who want to use a Raptor as intended.

But really it depends what sensation you wanna feel... Frame support/bumps will bring you peace-of-mind, leaf springs will bring you joy. If you can do both in one shot, that is your best bet.

What Bo said. This is my 2nd go around and leaf springs were 1st on my list. While the truck was getting leaves I did the bumps, and figured I should do UCA's too. Since the front was taken apart I decided to get the tie-rods installed. It only made sense that since the tires had to come off I should get new Methods as well and wrapped them with the BFG's. Good thing RPG has all that stuff readily available and they were able to take advantage of my need for instant gratification!!

RPG stage 3 (rear bumps and leafs). You can swing by and check mine out whenever you want.

I'd love to go front coilovers next to make the front as nice as the rear feels.

Well I was hoping to see you tomorrow during the Medano Pass/Great Sand Dunes trip!! Come on out if things work out.

From my runs over at CORE, I really think I would benefit from the front coil-overs. My best bet for now is to go Stage 3, then save for the front.

I agree. Just my opinion. Once the rear end is setup with stage 3, you'll probably want to immediately go to front coilovers (at least) to balance out the new feel for the truck. The rear is so much responsive, sticky to the terrain and just downright soft. You'll hear yourself hit the bumps more often (a slight banging then compression sound) more often, but that's normal and the bumps doing their jobs.

Tomorrow is looking very unlikely unless I bring the kids (young) which may be an option, but I don't know. My wife is training for the denver marathon tomorrow with her running buddies and tomorrow is the 20 mile run (only two weeks away), so I'm kind of tied up in the morning...

really wanted to shoot too....

Yeah, it sounds like my next mod is suspension. Who did your install?

My boys are coming on the trip tomorrow. They are 10 and 13.

I got lucky and Corey and me from RPG did my install at the TRR this spring. Those guys are great and I know the install is spot on (as they supervised and did a lot of the hard stuff). Probably time for me to recheck torque since i've run it a bit since then.

RPG stage 3 to avoid frame bents

It's Unanimous!
