Perch Mod Discussion

Does $375 from the dealership sound reasonable?

Mid perch, alignment, front headlight adjustment.

I think an alignment is 100 alone.

Good to know.i think I'll just have them do it. Plus it will be done when I pick up the truck.

May be a stupid question, but the truck doesn't get taller does it? I have to go in a parking garage daily, has me a little concerned.

Yup, that's the point of the mod

I thought it was only in the front though. To make it equivalent to the back. If I get any taller I don't know that I'll be able to fit in the garage.

It only lifts the front...mid perch is like 1.25 inches taller than stock and I think top is 2.5 taller than bottom perch.

Here's my truck and it's on top

Looks freakin awesome. Any particular reason you went top?

Yeah because I run the crap out of my truck at these raptor runs and it has saved my ass.. I jump it a lot as well. Top perch compresses the spring all the way so it's a lot stiffer up front. Front sticks up a bit higher than the back so I feel that slight shift in weight helps keep the rear planted. I run in 2 for the most part. I've had mine on top perch for 34 thousand miles and never had a problem with my CVs or anything else in the front suspension/drivetrain assembly.
And the stance is way more aggressive and makes the truck look a lot better if you ask me.

When I hit the brakes the front barely budges lol.

To me it drives like an offroad truck and not my old eslacalde anymore.
