Perch Mod Still Possible on 2017?

[RLTW]

You cannot do a perch mod on the new 2017 because it has a V6 which is lighter and if you move to the mid perch on a 3.0 fox shock, it will suddenly become heavier because its higher in the air.

Lol [emoji23].....[emoji848] troll?

Finally! Someone that isn't a complete ******* like most of the Jen two'rs

I heard the special order Gold shocks can do the perch mod....

Looks adjustable to me. Those gold shocks appear to be mid perch

So, gravitational acceleration IS actually dependent upon the distance between the centroids of the two objects in question, as given by


gh=g0(re/(re+h))^2


where gh is the gravitational acceleration at height above sea level
g0 is the standard gravitational acceleration constant
re is the earths radius
h is the height above sea level


so, in reality, the Raptor will weigh LESS if you raise it's CG by moving the front end suspension up to mid-perch....


but I doubt if you'll be able to measure the difference

why yes, I AM a rocket scientist ;p

Bump. Anyone else think it is adjustable?

Can't wit to see everyone crying for there gen twos back. Raptor tax is gonna be heavy on new parts I'm sure. Plus I'm
Assuming most parts won't be "bolt ons".
I have a pair of stock Gen. 1 front Shocks laying around if anyone wants to do mid perch on there Gen 2. there also lighter so win win..

Don't forget the time dilation.

Sorry could not help it.

It will not be adjustable

At least one vendor will be offering a billet block to use at the bottom spring perch for added height equiv to mid perch of old. Assuming GeiserBro's or other spring makers will eventually offer a progressive option to achieve more height.

I did have this conversation with a Ford Dynamics guy, and It felt like I was dragging fingernails across a chalkboard as I brought it up There is a lot more involved in the design of this shock setup than last go in its offered configuration. That all said, I will likely be trying the block as soon as its available simply for aesthetics. I did much prefer the mid perch firmness over stock on first gen, Geisers at mid perch wasn't bad either.

I saw Geiser and my brain immediately started trying to make some kind of trophy truck connection.

Has anyone else noticed how many of the trucks in some of the pics have looked close to level front to back? Are they carrying tons of gear in them when they are about and about testing or is something else up?
