Shock upgrades to 3.0 and cornering

[Labraptor]

What shocks are you running? Thanks for the note.

King 3.0 with Deaver +3 springs. Changed my UCA to the SVC as well.

Hell yes !

Had me looking for the ripcord a few times with the icons.



Icons have better high speed cornering on smoother roads due to the reduced body roll.

Fox's have better high speed cornering on rough roads/offroad due to the more compliant ride.



The brenthel/king setup I'm running now is well worth looking into when you consider the cost is roughly the same as a fully upgraded 3.0 front end, but you get more travel, bump stops, and everything is stronger (double shear joints). I should have done it right from the start and saved a bunch of money. The performance is worth the cost.

It's as big a performance difference over a raptor with 3.0's, as a 3.0 raptor is over a regular f150. No exaggeration.

NTM

Thanks for the response and your thread about the ICON and Fox shocks. It is very informative and useful.

What brenthel/king setup are you running? Is it a long arm system or just shock upgrade? Does it address the fox and icon short comings?

Thanks
Dan

NTM,

I just found your Brenthel post. Looks awesome! Congrats
