Springs and bumpstops

[Chris's FX4]

I have the factory springs in now and they are sagging. I get that horrible bounce in the rear. Going on 31/2 years with the truck. I tow maybe 5 times a year and carry my ATV in the bed during the summer.

Aren't you in a Harley F150 though? Or did you swap in Raptor leafs?

Same leafs and same problems
and I'm glad I'm subscribed since I'm thinking of upgrading.

3 years is better than 6 months! Hah

Hahaha yea wayyy better but still 3 sucks.
My 1999 f150 156k miles and still comfy on the stock springs, why are these new trucks and new parts going bad soo fast? Its sad that stuff now isn't made as well as it used to be.

so grabbed some measruerment.

2012 Scab 1/4 tank of fuel and no weight in the bed other than the weight of the rollx.

Rear's sat just about 27" from hub center to fender flare.

Started with +3"

I have my bypass fully open and the bump stop hasnt been touched. threw an oring on it to check movement.

I have a feeling the deavers will sag excessively aswell. Maybe if you start with a plus three, after a few years is would be a at factory height and still somewhat acceptable and complient. I'd put the stock springs back in if the two inch blocks didn't cause so much wheel hop. At least the factory ones didn't sac out.

Don't say that! I just had Deaver +3s installed at TRR! It's hard for me to comprehend that $1000+ heavy duty springs are sacking out at all, let alone in under a year with minimal use. When compared to stock springs, which seem to be fine even after years and tons of miles worth of use, the aftermarket ones appear to be failing at an alarmingly high rate.

maybe you'll have good luck with them. We pay a bunch for springs. More than most other vehicles it seems.

Btw, did you find your fuel jug hose I borrowed?

Ya Pirate owning a Raptor is like owing a boat. Just add marine to it and parts or aftermarket stuff 3x the price!!! ha ha ha

Fingers crossed for this "luck" you speak of! And yes I have the fuel hug hose but did manage to lose my gopro... After searching through my truck and stuff I took to Texas, I'm hoping it didn't fall victim to a five finger discount. Reading others posts that this year people were stealing coolers, food/beverages and signs makes me think someone might have grabbed it...
