Question...

So it's been a while now since several have done Mid-Perch, any pro's, con's etc... would you do it again, any issues etc...?

I've been thinking of doing this to mine, which just based on where I live (Chicago area) it's going to be on the roads 100% of the time.

Thanks!

I drive ours typically Mon-Fri only because OrangeAddict works almost an hour away and it makes financial sense for him to drive the commuter car. So days it's mine and evenings and weekends it's his. I drive almost exclusively on the street. Our joke is my street queen HIS RAPTOR.

When he began doing the mid perch in our garage I walked out and wigged. The front looked to be in parts. It was a great learning experience to have him explain what and why he was doing what he was doing.that being said. I thought after the mid perch and alignment was done it drove just fine. I really couldn't tell a difference on the street other than the lack on nose dive when I was speeding along and got that uh oh cop ahead must break now thought. When it comes to looks I LOVE the look. I've seen ours sitting next to one that hasn't had it done and thought "oh yeah that's hot". But that's just a lady's point of view. Not sure if it helps or not lol.

Mid-Perch is the way to go...just don't go to the top and yes you will see one ring when on mid perch, two when on top.

I forgot to take before pics, but it just so happens that a non modified Raptor parked in front of me at Costco the next day!
