truck is in the shop as I type, mid perch is done - brought the front up about 1.5" so going to have them adjust the rear block in the kit I bought to be 1" higher than factory so I will still be raked but about 0.5" less rake than stock.

Took my 14 by the dealer i purchased it from today. Ask them if they would set it midperch and check alignment. Service manager said " i cannot adjust your shocks....its not a Ford recommended service". He did tell me of a shop that would do it for me, but said "depending on any issues warranty may or maynot cover any parts they could link to the perch adjustment".

Mid perch is the only way to go. Stops the nose dive braking, and looks soooo much better!


Top perch does all those things better !!

Seriously I know I'm a top perch **** but it's for a reason. Ask anyone's who's seen me run on the track/been with me in the truck.

Rear 3.0s and top perch have by far surpassed my expectations.

53,000 miles on top and no problems with my cv's, 4wd has always worked fine.

Let me rephrase my earlier post. Mid and top perch are the only way to go! Anything but standard. Flying_raptor-Can you post some pics of your truck? I would love to see the top perch and 37's. I am getting 37's soon myself. Brown keep us posted with pics as well.

And that would be a reasonable response I think.
