Ride Height of aftermarket setups?

[verytalonted]

Does changing to an aftermarket Fox/Icon/King setup with all the bells and whistles (UCAs, rear springs, etc.) change the ride height at all???

Reason I ask is I would like the Raptor to sit higher, while not destroying what 'makes' a Raptor a Raptor.

I enjoy the capabilty of my truck, but would like more lift down the road and plan on swapping to an aftermarket setup (once she is paid off).

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks guys!

u can get taller rear springs. WSI springs will raise u 2" i think

i also think icons will make the front sit higher

hopefully someone with more shock experience will chime in

Yes it can. All depends on where you set your front springs at and which set of rear springs you get. I have front Icons and WSI rear springs and bet I am 3 in higher than stock. I say I bet cause I havent measured my setup yet, waiting for the new rear springs to settle a bit.

After installing RPG's dual front shocks (where the coilover shocks show 7 threads) with RPG Stage 4 rear end:

Front - 45" to wheel well (immediately after installation)
Rear - 44" to wheel well

I will give it a few weeks for the fronts to settle as much as they will if any, then consider setting the front 1/2" higher than the rear (it's 1.0" higher now).

So, I just went out and measured mine for ya.
Front W/Icons set the way I got them=42.5
Rear W/WSI springs=43.5
I need to add, I have a bedslide, jack, 15lb powertank 4 atv wheels and tires and tools in the back. I am guessing 400lbs total

Same setup with Toyo MT 35's.

Had mine on for about 5 to 6 weeks, with 7 threads showing:

Front - 43.5" to center bottom of arch
Rear - 43 to center bottom of arch

One of the vendors (I think it was KHC) at HITH, had +3" leaf springs and 1"(?) longer shackles. I really liked this set up.

Wow thanks for all the measurements guys.

Any body else out there with different setups?
