Need some lift/tire advice

[Smokey]

I’m not the best person to give that specific advise as I have a 2020 on order and haven’t used the specific parts you’re asking about. I’ve been reading lots of threads and my internet opinion from what I’ve seen other post is the eibachs should come close to level. New springs usually sit tall and then settle some. From what I’ve read here and seen on YouTube I think the progressive Geiser coils are better than the eibachs for the way these trucks perform, but they reportedly give more height which doesn’t help you. I do think that any springs are the better solution compared to a spacer or collars for achieving front height.

Personally I plan on buying the Deavers at some point, my choice would be the +3 with a 1” lowering shackle. That combination gives you the option for 1” of lift in the rear if you need it vs the standard +2 setup. I don’t want to lift my truck at all, or really do any mods that will negatively effect fuel economy. I know I shouldn’t care about such nonsense, but I will be driving my Raptor about 20K miles per year for work.

I've put 22k on my '19 in the last 11 months. I've had eibachs up front since September and recently added Deaver +3 HD's. if there's a fuel mileage difference with this tiny lift, I haven't noticed it. that's just me tho, others may have different results.

with this setup fully broken in, my truck is as level as it gets. it's maybe a 1/2" higher in the rear.

That's how it always happens. But believe me you'll be so grateful. No easy way to do things right but damn you'll have a true bad ass truck.

I talked to the experts today at Texas Motorworx. Funny how they can convince you to exceed your budget by knowing their shit. Gonna go with the Eibachs, Deaver+3, bump stop, and Toyo R/T 35s.

I know they are the "experts" but they are also a company looking to make money. you could easily run these perch colars and buy 37s. you will have very minimal rubbing because you are keeping the stock wheels.

personally i like the bfg km3- stick with a 12.5 wide and youll be set

the deaver+3 is just barely more than factory rear height. they are unnecessary for your driving style.

run the collars and your tires and youll be under 2k.

this is exactly what Im doing. RPG 1.5" collar, wheel well trimming and 37 ko2, done for $2500. Going with the ko2 rather than km3 only because they are lighter. Tire weight is very noticeable on these trucks.

What year is your Raptor, i'm in the same boat and looking to do this for a 2019.

How much additional height do you think this will give you?

Interesting, i don't live in Texas ( I live in Washington state) and have gone to several different shops that don't inspire my confidence at all...I haven't seen this suggestion but curious if it would work for a 2019.

very minimal weight difference. if any it would be in the tires. This is a easy inexpensive way to achieve the look of 37s without breaking the bank and with cutting back on performance. yes there are better options but in my experience you could go spend $10K on suspension and there is still a better way.

Thanks @PorterW1111 but Did you mean to say minimal "height" difference? My goal is for the vehicle to sit higher so that's what i was asking about as opposed to weight.

yeah wow totally read weight in your question... lol

height wise yes the 1.5" collar should allow you to run 37s depending on wheel offset and the exact make of tire you choose. as tires are not all a true 37". it will "level" you truck.
