Perch Mod vs Leveling Kit Discussion

Sounds like you're convinced, but if not here's why you don't want to go with any leveling kit on the Raptor: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f5/why-spacers-bad-idea-lots-cv-axle-innards-pics-11645/

I have mine on mid perch and no camber kit on it. I beat mine pretty hard and haven't once come back with anything knocked out of whack (at least as far as alignment). YMMV though.

Mid Pearch or Leveling Kit?

I'm Trying to decide which one is the best option to level the truck out. Les Schwab want's $365 to move the shock mount to the mid perch plus $49 for an alignment? Worth it? or do a leveling kit?

DO NOT do a leveling kit/spacer. Do the mid perch mod..

Ok. Care to elaborate? Personal preference, mechanical failure or am I breaking some Raptor owner rule I don't know about?

It will break a ton of stuff including drive shaft CVs if you do the level kit. It allows the suspension to drop too far down.

Do a search and there is lots of info on this. Do mid perch. Level kit will cause lots of issues especially your cv's

^^^ what they said! Big j had a ton of shit break on his truck do to a leveling kit. He has a huge thread about it on here. Mid perch is what you want. There's a reason why non of these vendors on here sell them!
