Perch Mod Discussion

Handling is a consideration but since I can't really test drive it, it's hard to say if I'd care about the top setting feel vs the middle...

Panda says he may need to adjust the headlights down. People seem to be flashing at him like he has the Brights on. Getting mine to Top perch within the next few weeks.

one concern is also the angle for the UCA and bolts... the reason Outlaw Raptor makes their Heim UCA is because the stock UCA is not designed to move through its full range of motion (droop and compression) on the top perch; the angle is too steep for the OEM joint.


"The arms are designed to maximize full droop and compression without compermising the Uni ball movement."

 

[LSURaptor]

Well, I don't want to **** other shit up but range of motion shouldn't change, should it?

It's going to spend more of it's time operating in a different range but overall, the travel is still the same.

 

[19-Kilo]

yes the travel is still the same, but the UCA on the top perch will already be extended more than on the stock position. the angle between the spindle and the UCA changes with ride hight.

 

[Raptizzle]

With the increased ride height from the perch adjustment, your OEM joint is now loaded from one direction as opposed to sitting even under the UCA.

just leave the truck alone and enjoy it. what is the advantage of changing the ride height

 

[Reptar]

just split the difference and do the middle perch. can't stand the nose up look, truck looks like it has a load of manure in the bed when it's nose up even the slightest bit. Then when you actually do use the truck as a truck and fill the bed, it's going to be even worse.

The top perch is actually closer to level than the middle or at least it looks that way. Not a noticeable nose high stance at all

I love my middle perch, and i have a Screw, and it looks pretty damn level to me. Plus the ride is sill plush!
