Did the mid perch on my 13' and LOVE IT! Much better ride and I think it looks waaaaay better without the dipped front end.

This past Monday my truck came in. I test drove it on bottom perch and drove it home on middle perch. All raptors should be on the middle perch.

After going on the SDBR with stock (bottom) perch, I'm fine with it just the way it is for now. Ford did a great job on this truck. It's awesome just the way it is!!! Maybe after a few more trips and even harder driving, I'll go mid perch but I'm going to drive mine stock for a while yet.

Hey guys....
I really want to do the Mid-perch.....
However i don't want this to prevent me from going into Parking Structures (worry about the overhead) or my Garage.

Anyone already measure this out.....or have any experience with this since have gone to Mid Perch setting?

Or should I avoid my garage and parking structures all together?

thanks in advance-

It will be a tight squeeze in old garages. Be careful. I came about 1/4" from learning this the hard way.

depending on how much weight you have in the truck but about 2" will be added.

I thought the same thing until I finally did it then I kicked myself for not doing it sooner. even just the on road feel. but it is a preference off road it is definitely worth it imo.

I moved mine to mid perch this past weekend... Now I need to adjust my headlights down.... I think people think I'm driving with my brights on...


I like the mod 100% can't see any negatives to the adjustment.. Plus it's a quick Mod with the proper tools..

Two thumbs up!

The only thing better than middle perch..... is between mid and top perch (3.0's required of course). No stress to CV joints plus can do all the fun icox suspension mods + bigger tires etc
