I'd be in as well. I have Jarrett at RPG searching around as well for someone to install their stage III. I do not have the truck yet either. Supposed to be here 1/23 now 2/7

I drive past them 2x a day and do see a Blue SCAB parked out front alot. The shop has been there for a long time. I bought some stuff from them back in '82!!! Good thought on the RPG stuff as I was thinking about that but not about ready to DIY. Maybe I can drop in and talk to them next week on my way to/from work.

I'm obviously interested too but still need to check my garage height. I saw on another forum the cab height changes somewhat.

If I recall correctly, it's 1.75 increase for the middle.

About 1.5 at the tire and 0.75 inches at the cab according to this

Spoke to two outfits here in Colorado about the perch mod:

1. Groove Ford didn't seem to interested in it and quoted a pretty high price. I'm also not sure if they have even done one. I then asked about what CAI kit they recommended or could install. They said they don't recommend them and also didn't sound too excited for the work...

2. Four To Go up in Wheat Ridge. I spoke to Chad via email and got this great response:

We appreciate the mention.
We have not done any Raptor specific, but bilstien has a similar adjustment for the standard F150’s and the Tacoma's we have done a ton of those also we have the very nice spring compressor tools. We are very capable I also am factory trained from FOX on their shocks and a FOX dealer. I did see there were a couple other guys on the forum who want this done. You will also be able to run a 37” tire on the truck as well. I have spoke to FOX on how to do the adjustment, by raising the front end up you also put the bypass shock in the correct location and that is how FOX developed the shock for the truck initially and how FOX intended the truck to be sent out.
Thank you,

Sweet! It sounds like they know their stuff. Did they give you a price? Think they'd give us a group rate?

Groove Ford sucks. I shopped there first and abandoned them.
