soft front springs?

raptor soft front springs

love my raptor, but it feels like the front springs are too soft off road. Even in relatively small whoops, or small berm road crossings i bang the front skid plate. Can I adjust the preload on the springs to stiffen up a bit? Anyone else notice the same thing?

middle or top perch will do that for ya...top=firm... just watch out for g-outs!

Even in relatively small whoops off road, and at fairly slow speeds I keep banging the front skid plate, like the springs are letting the nose dive into the next whoop. Any ideas?

Its called perch adjustment. And carry at least 35mph through them and don't brake

The perch mods don't change the spring rate, they just add pre load which will cause a more harsh rebound not necessarily any stiffness.

Did anyone know 5.4 Raptors have a different Front spring rate than 6.2 Raptors ?

And has anyone looked into a stiffer spring rate for the 6.2 Raptor front ?
just an idea

no replacements availible. it doesnt use the standard coilover spring, it uses the oem spring from the parts bin
