Slow bumps on the street with a ford raptor, what is that.

[Aaron]

The speed bumps that i have been through has cause dunkey kick on the rear suspension. i think around 50mph, driving like that cause the exhaust system to disconnect from the headers. I think is not nessesary to hit the stocks bumps stops what matter is the hit worse if you have the tire psi 41psi up.

From today i started to drive my truck as a normal f150, see and avoid square potholes and slowing down at speed bumps. Until i get leaf springs with 3.0 suspension and bump stop

You have to be hitting the bump stops in order to bend the frame. That's how it happens. Excessive force on the weaker area of the frame from the axle hitting it causes it to deform.

You know that saying where they say, People only listen to what they want to Hear?

^Well here's what I gotta say to Cleave and Aaron, Ahhh Shhiiiiitttttttttt Hells Yeah
Going to keep on smashing through those low bumps at 60+ mph like always then.

And in case anyone's wondering, yeah I'm going to quietly ignore ktm505sx and his sweet 3.0 set up because on the off-hand chance I'm horribly wrong and Cleave and Aaron you're/'ll be to blame...

and Fffuuuuuccccckkkkkkkkkkkk will be my next reaction when/if I bottom out or bend on a < 2" speed bump.

At least i have proof, a pic takem of my catback disconnected from the header,

I just can't imagine what kind of man made speed bumps you're hitting to cause donkey kick with a raptor, do they eat normal cars? I've gone over 6"+ tall speeds bumps at over 90 mph and it just soaks it up, get a little bit of air, but no donkey kicking

And a lot of people lose their aftermarket clamp on exhaust even if they're taking it easy, that's why I just don't run any catbacks at all, don't have to worry about it

i think that has more to do with not having it welded in. i drive the ****** streets of chicago that has 6" tall speed humps. i never slow down, never donkey kicked and havent bent my frame. corse im not hitting them at 50... 35-45 tho. also my Roush exhaust hasnt moved a bit, even after Havoc in the Hills at stock perch settings.

Get the National HD springs and you will hardly even feel it...

I cant believe what I am reding in this thread, Raptors cant handle a speed bump?
Oh well, I've been trying to justafy buying that new fancy bumpstop kit.

Not that I they can't hit a speed bump. It's that they can't hit ****** Panama speed bumps at 60 mph all the time.

Why not drive like a decent human being instead of hitting speed bumps at 90+mph? Every speed bump I've ever seen has been in a neighborhood with children or a shopping center. You don't buy a Raptor to be a mall crawler that runs through speed bumps at speed. Or at least you shouldn't.

I can't believe I just read an entire thread about hitting speed bumps fast. Wtf
