Raptor suspension

[Turbro]

I've had deavers for 3 years. If you use the truck like a truck I recommend the HDs. Choose the hight you like. I went with +4HD. I'm in the minority here, but I like factory rakes. I can't stand the back lower than the front EVER! Now matter what is in the back or towing heavy by Raptor standards. However, I must keep ~200lbs of tools and $hit in the back to ride good empty. When I have ~400lbs it rides like a dream. I do have load E tires though as well. That affects the ride as I have been educated on site about after I purchased them.

What are your pressures set at?

Low 30's when not towing.

I still haven’t pulled trigger on upgrading my 2020 suspension w/ 80k miles all 4 shocks are now doing the buzzing thing at startup & my leafs are squished & I even get slight rub in front….BUT given how much a pita the live valve rebuild situation is, no guarantee (from what I can tell) that the buzzing will stop lol, not sure whether I’ll upgrade or trade for a low low mileage ‘22

That being said…I usually have 200 lbs or so of stuff in bed, almost always have a couple dogs & couple kids in it, & do a 1700 mile roadtrip 1x a year towing 2 Yamaha FX waverunners, the 2 dogs, 2 kids, 1 wife, & 600 lbs of crap- I often use the Raptor like a truck.

Since I know this suspension would settle again…I was considering doing a rebuild swap all 4 corners, an adjustable perch collar collar in front @ 1.5”-1.75” height, deaver +3HD in rear w/ bump stop extension

I don’t want level, I want similar factory rake w/ little extra height (assuming it’ll eventually settle down some again over time) & I NEVER wanna be sagging ass nose high.

From what I can tell even +2HD will wind up w/ ass sag in my use case correct?

Anyone know whether 1.5” or 1.75” is a better starting height for this setup to keep about 3/4”-1” rake & not hurt axle angles?
