[QUOTE="BAJASVT, post: 680904, member: 7663"] Not installed on a Raptor, but between myself and a few friends, we've had Deavers on a few trucks, including a class 8 truck, and haven't experienced any sagging. I've never personally seen the RPG instructions, but that is not right. Suspension parts can be lightly snugged without the vehicle weight on them, but they should be fully torqued with the full weight of the vehicle. Parts on a solid rear axle can be lowered off a jack/hoist and torqued, but for front suspension parts, the vehicle should be slightly rolled back and forth on the ground or set down on movable pads like what's on an alignment rack and the suspension jounced a bit before torquing them. Long story short... final torque should be done at final ride height. [/QUOTE]
