Although I have found some info on the SDi top hats, I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I did already buy them and they are ready to go on the truck, but before I do that I want to know if I will have too much lift up front, causing a "Carolina squat" to inadvertently happen.

With that being said, does anyone have photos of SDi top mounts on an otherwise mostly stock Raptor? At some point I can/will do new rear leaf springs, but that won't be for a little while. Any pics/help with this would be much appreciated :cool:

it’s about 1.75 lift. You might be front proud but no more than a 1/4”. Depends on your rear springs. Need to go deavers or icons anyways. Will make it feel better drive wise. I put 2.25” perch on my 18 and it was level with the stock springs. But once weight went into the bed. It would sag some. Now my rear is ass high

Ok awesome. I 100% plan on doing rear springs at some point, just have to wait for the budget to catch up. I didn't realize leaf springs were so damn expensive haha.

Yessss, I definitely came across your thread. I got them installed this past weekend and the truck aligned. I have to say I love it now, especially with the 37s. I will get some photos posted soon. Its very close to being slight squatted, so new leaf springs will be in the future for sure.

Check the garage sale section, might come across leaf springs for reasonable price if you can pick them up. If you are in Texas there was a guy in College Station basically begging someone to come get them out of his garage.

Definitely send some pictures with the 37’s, this is the last season for my 35’s, it’s looking like it will be tight on the 37’s
