Looks good. Forgive me, i am in Italy and watched the video on my cell phone. Unless I am wrong none of the trucks were running 12 inches in the rear. They looked sprung under and were strapped. I have heard rumors you are coming out with a bolt on rear bed cage kit. Is it one that is in the video? I guess what I am really asking is, your new front kit will out perform any 3.0 sprung over system. What are you recommending to run with your kit?

The only truck of the 3 that has a sprung under in that video is the white truck. The blue truck is running a bed cage that we will be releasing shortly after the dual shock/LCA setup. The black truck has a full built rear with spring over, but a notch in the frame to allow a few more inches of bump travel. After getting time behind the wheel of the Blue truck (spring over no notch), it feels very fast with this setup. All three different approaches, but all three hands down the best Raptors I've driven in. It's a totally different experience.

Well done gentlemen. Trucks look great!

Any advantages to upgrading to the LCA without the dual shock set up?

Besides the obvious of our LCA designed to handle a second shock, the other major benefit to running it would be 1.5" bearings on all three corners so you get rid of any remaining bushing slop through the steering wheel. We made sure to incorporate steering stops into the arm (found this one out the hard way on early development sets) to keep steering geometry correct. But in my opinion the biggest advantage to doing the new LCA is knowing you have the ability down the road to add the second 3.0" and totally transform the front end of the truck.

Just found that out. I guess I need submit to youtube for mobile. I'm an idiot. Watch it on a real computer for now Joe.

It's most likely because of the song in the background... Same thing I've been dealing with recently with all my projects. The owners of the music rights choose the restrictions, nothing you can do about it! Well... Except put a non-licensed song as the background, which is no fun, and generic!

Looks like you guys had some fun testing, that area is brutal!!!

The gf had a chat with me the other day about how much I'm spending on the Raptor

time to replace

That's why you have to find a woman that loves the raptor just as much as you do! I got lucky my wife loves my truck and her dad has one as well so she knows how it is! Haha

I think she really loves the raptor, or at the very least the ac/heated seats

She just can't understand why in 3 months its had 3 sets of tires, a color change, the entire suspension redone, holes cut in the bed and rear, and new bumpers

Wait till she finds out RPG is going to get even more money from me soon

Haha yea there's a huge difference between loving the raptor and understanding the need and want in upgrading it! My wife's always asking me what's next on the raptor haha she knows that her paychecks are for 3 things groceries cable/Internet and mods fort truck haha
