New suspension components

My 22 doesn’t even have that, so I’d say yeah nothing to worry about. Looks like it’s probably just extra insulation for sound.

Odd mine is a 22 as well. Wonder why they added it.

I used a long exacto knives to cut a hole above the nut. And used a an adjustable angle wrench to get to the bolt easier.

Going to try to get the truck alignment done tomorrow and see how it drives. Right now there is definitely a difference. , but it's a very subtle difference.

Not in any negative Way. Now the wait for these 35s to wear out so I can get the 37s.

Depending on how much you want to play around with things, throwing a 2” spring spacer on with the stock springs could be worth trying. The rear would ride equivalent to a 1” spacer if everything else was stock. With 150 lbs extra in the bed, that might get you about in the same spot but ride smoother.

After the alignment, and finding out that I forgot to tighten the steering rod end Bolt tight enough. Truck drives amazing. There's a slight bit of stiffer feel. Barely noticeable. And honestly I think the truck drives better
Overall I love the way the truck drives now and the way it stands. Carried about 500 lb worth of tools today in the back and considerably less squatting than stock springs.

Highly recommend this setup. I will try the collars and stock springs in the back later, but as of right now I'll probably drive around this way for the next 10,000 miles.

Super Glad I came across this thread! Just picked up a peasant edition 25' 801A and I'm pumped to be back in the Raptor gang

Thanks for all the hard work, @taquitos! I know exactly where I'm spending my next little bit of play money!
