For what it is worth, got a quote for $178 from a shop over on 620.....quoted it as if they were changing the shocks.

Does that include the alignment? If you that wouldn't be a bad deal. Bell's Customs or Krawltex might do it also (both in Cedar Park on 1431).

That price is just for the perch adjustment. I seem to remember they charge $85 for the alignment.

Mid Perch or Not?

Debating whether to go with mid perch from day 1 or not with my 2013.

Leaning towards driving it for a few months first so I get a feel at the stock bottom setting and then probably going mid after that.

I know top perch is a no go for us 2012/2013 owners but are there any downfalls to mid perch on a 2013? Are we still increasing the stress on components? Just less than top perch or do you guys think there's no appreciable difference between bottom and mid perch?

I want mods that will improve the off-road capability of my Raptor as it will not be a DD. It will see high speed desert and regular off'-road terrain.

Thanks for your input in advance!!

i just got mine done recently (as you already know) and i do notice there is less body roll around turns. i wanted to see how the truck drove first before i did any mods to it, so i waited a couple months

Wait if you like but it's absolutely worth it. I went about 6 months stock, then went to top perch for 6 months, the went down to mid. Mid is where it's at. No one ever went from mid back to stock that I'm aware of. Several people went from top to mid.
