That is an ongoing debate, currently being tested by several of us.



The +3 will jack up the ear of the truck, about an inch + over mid perch height.



If you dont want that look or need that travel go with +2.


So basically without load the +3 will give the truck that rake look and with load it should settle in even with front?

with weight, it will give you a level setting more at top perch levels. not mid perch.


Alright good to know. I'm going to be doing mid perch myself this weekend hopefully. Going to be a pain as this truck has gone through 2 New York winters so far.

Go with plus 3's!

I sacked out my plus 2's in less than 5 months running a bed rack. (500-600 lbs. in the bed at all times)

plus 3's are holding their own as of now.

Yeah Deaver. Should have gone with +3's from the start running with a rack in at all times.

I am really happy with them thus far.

I have the Saints rack and run a set of Icon 3.0s. The rear sat a little low when bed was loaded with just the 3.0s. Recently got the Deaver +3 and now truck sits level when loaded. Very happy with ride quality improvement as well.

Which jack is that? And did you get the jack mount from saints?

The jack skid plate is from Saints and the jack is the Harbor Freight 2 ton.


So 2 ton is enough for the raptor? I actually almost picked up a 2 ton raceline from harbor freight.

As for the suspension I think I'm going to go with deaver +3 and then do the rpg stage 2 bumpstops. I'll wait on the 3.0 shocks until I need them.

I tried to do mid perch myself but after 2 winters in New York it is t pretty. I made a appt with KHC for the 10th of July. Hopefully they can get it set.

Appreciate all the advice from everyone so far.
