Roadmaster Active Suspension - Gen.2

[Wainwrcb]

Any idea how much the 10% setting will raise the rear, also in case I missed it did you go with the Standard or Heavy duty??? They have both listed on their website. Im just looking at all my options for fighting axle wrap/wheel hop for the choppy roads we have all over NE Ohio.

If you mean 25% (Two gage shims are provided; one for setting to 25% and another for 40%) I am estimating probably around an inch. The Raptor takes a different part number than the regular F-150s. It is a standard duty.

Did you do the install yourself? If so, how difficult was it?

Install is very simple, maybe an hour

So is this RAS a more modular alternative to putting Icons or Deavers in?

They just got delivered so I test fitted them. Looks like the RAS spring will hit the bracket on the leaf spring that I circled in yellow. Did you have this problem?

Ordered mine too and will have it installed in a few weeks - will report back how it does on stock springs... I went this route + RPG collars because it'll level the truck and make it more capable as opposed to spending 2200+ on deavers & geisers (just yet).

Now what i am wondering is if this will at all allow a higher load in the bed, over the 1000lbs rated payload...

Mine touches, the bushing is not indented or damaged. I just checked both sides. It's not a problem

the kit comes with 2 spacers, one is a payload increase of 25% and the other is an increase of 40% payload capacity, per Roadmaster

That’s what I needed to hear. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks

Does it touch while you're truck is sitting level? If so, isn't it going to hit quite a bit more as the suspension compresses if you hit a big bump?
