RPG rear cantilever

Really? It looks like the bump stop and cantilever are one piece along the frame.

Yeah, the picture shows the bump stop welded onto the cantilever support. RPG’s website says the only welding that is required is at the axle. The pictures and description of this kit are misleading. I would have purchased this kit if the bump stop was included.

While that would be nice, $2342 (bump kit is $1658) for a cantilever system for any truck let alone a Raptor would be absurdly low. This is an unreal deal even without bumps in my opinion.

I could see doing an integrated bumpstop kit and charge extra for the cans, if you buy the cantilever you will need the bumpstop kit unless you already have it. Go ahead and price it accordingly, but the entire assembly would be stronger if it were one piece.

So if this doesn't include the bump stop kit welded to the cantilever than the pictures for this are inaccurate correct? Would this interfere with other bump stop kits?

Can you use stock shocks with this kit? More specifically Live Valve? I read/saw something somewhere that said this was compatible, but the ones shown don't look like live valve shocks. Curious on how they did the electrical for it. I'd assume it just an extension wire and relocation for the height sensor, but none of that is mentioned anywhere.

If it is completely compatible with live valve I'd be super interested in this setup as I want to keep my truck on Live Valve shocks. Being able to baby step into the upgraded live valve shocks would be nice too since you're looking at like 11K for front to back not counting deavers, axles, brake lines and etc.

Is there any possible way to route the exhaust to the rear? That would be a huge plus for myself as I use it as a daily driver too.

I think this suspension is aimed at people who have already moved past stock live valve and have deavers and hydraulic bumps, sorry but stock live valve is the first thing to go in favour of fox or kings and this cantilever set up without a front suspension upgrade will be unbalanced, when the rear is the weakness then cantilever looks very good, and if you aren’t prepared for an exhaust dump(which is not a problem at all) just wait until the heims in the cantilever squeak an wear out. it’s for people who want to go harder and faster off road and sacrifice stock car type comforts and maintenance.

I am sure you can do whatever you want as it will have to be a custom job anyway.

Depends on what you prefer. I personally prefer more rear travel to make these trucks feel more balanced off road. I feel the rear cant keep up with the front in stock form. That's just me though.

But with any off road go fast parts you will lose some comforts.

Fox has upgraded aftermarket Live Valve shocks though. Which in this sense wouldn't it be perfect for this? The advantage of this over cutting the bed is that you don't need longer shocks so wouldn't this be a good middle ground? Now I don't know if RPG's BOLT front works with the upgraded Live Valve's but that's what I would personally be shooting for. It would be nice to have a stop gap in between to lessen the instant wallet blow vs dumping 20k off the bat.

I would think a live valve type shock that could be adjusted from the cab would be a win but at any rate if you drive a king or fox 3 truck you might lose interest in live valve. I like this cantilever like you because no bed cutting and I might do it because I’ve got the rest of the goodies but for a stock truck you definitely have to add deavers and hydraulic bumps (maybe bump cans are optional but...) and as an IMO comment you also need shocks up front to have some balance or the front will be begging for mercy, remember fox or king3 have stronger longer springs which is significantly important.
