RPG Stage 3 Ordered!

[RPG]

McManus said it best. Very confident, sure footed, and comfortable in all situations.

how would you categorize the handling of the truck on pavement with the stage 3/4? Is it noticeably better? tighter?

Night & Day difference on pavement too. On curvy roads it used to wheel-hop very badly - especially with expansion joints or imperfections in the roadway. Suddenly skipping sideways feels very unsettling, especially with other vehicles in the next lane.

After installing RPG Stage setup with stacked National leafs - that kind of unpredictable squirrelly hopping around has been essentially eliminated, even if rub up against a curb. Now it "hugs" the road around curves instead of hopping around them. Compared to other trucks - the Raptor's width already makes it more stable with less tendency to roll... it's just that now this beast handles curves more like a sports car.

Haha yea I live my stage 3 kit absolutely amazing I really enjoy taking windy back roads dirt or pavement but it's really funny to see te look of fear on my friends face when I'm coming up to a tight corner and I'm not slowing down haha it hugs the road so nice

One thing that should be on the top
Of your mod list also is RPGs steering tie rods those make the steering so solid especially sliding around corners at 80 haha

Guys,

I can not wait to do this upgrade, RPG has been so good to me with this purchase that I plan on getting the Tie Rods, their upper control arms and rock guards as soon as I can afford them. These guys know how to treat a customer and have earned me as a lifetime customer to say the very least

Whats the difference in ride and handling with the stage 4 and 4+? Is it a no-brainer to get the front coilovers? Also, what about the TR? worth it?

RPG makes rock guards?

I have several upgrades waiting for my truck but the one I am looking most forward to is my Stage 3, I will be undercoating the whole bottom of my truck and the RPG gear with Amsoil HD.

I will have to wait until i get home from this offshore trip to install it

Thank you Jarrett and RPG for taking care of me on this

Are you doing the install yourself? If so, PM me if you want a bit of help, I am not all that handy, but I can wrench a little bit.
