Morning Everyone,
Just wanted to say hello and join the forum. I picked up a 2019 White (no graphics) Raptor about a week ago. I have to say that I am very impressed with truck. I am coming out of a 2015 F150 King Ranch with 1.5" level kit and 285/65/20 KO2's. The ride of the Raptor is night a day better than the KR. I live in Louisiana and our roads here more closely resemble Baja Mexico than anything. Ugh. :) So my drive to work is a much more comfortable ride than in my KR. The seats are so much better too.

One question for anyone. Do you notice that when you come to a stop the truck seems to still "rock" or "move" slightly? Just kinda feels like the shocks are still giving a bit with almost any movement. Which I am assuming they are, just was curious if anyone else noticed the feeling. Obviously coming from the FX4 crappy shocks on the KR, I am dealing with a much different product.

Thanks everyone, glad to finally be in a Raptor.

Congratulations and welcome to the club. As for your question, it is completely normal that your truck rocks when coming to a complete stop. My Gen 1 did the same thing.

Looks nice, Welcome and enjoy. Can’t say I notice that movement with mine. The suspension can provide a lot of travel, so it might be a perceived different feel than your last truck which is probably a bit stiffer. That said you will find this truck can still take turns very nicely and hold its own.
