Strawberry Oreo!!!!

[Gumby]

Got together to do some Raptor work. I thought this is a good representation of stock low perch ,mid perch, all out. You can really tell the difference.
First truck mine. Stock low perch
Second truck @mwaite09 Stock mid perch (I think) Strawberry in the middle!!!
Third @Bozz not stock on 37
I will let the guys say what is up with there trucks. Just so I don't get it wrong.

Mine is a 2014 tuxedo black
Front.... stock low perch factory fox (probably in need of rebuild)
Rear......stock spring. rebuilt axel perch factory fox (probably in need of rebuild)

For your zooming pleasure.

That was a fun day but took a bit longer than the 5-10 minutes videos I watched. All in all once we got a few things sorted out it went pretty smoothly. Those icons+3 are HEAVY!! This was a good learning opportunity and helped me understand more about my ass end (insert joke here)

Mine is a 2014 with 35's on OEM Fox set at Mid perch, stock springs and rebuilt rear shocks by TSW.

Thanks a lot BOZZ, now I need to reconsider my ride since I tow a boat!

Been buried all weekend with family stuff, just got home.

A SPECIAL THANKS to @Gumby and @mwaite09 for all of their help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help??? @Gumby did 98% of the work, so I think @mwaite09 and I were helping him (when we weren't just sitting there watching or gabbing )

Gumby has the tool and garage setup, baby! Of course it was raining all day (they said zero percent chance of rain....LOL)

mwaite09 made a special run to find nuts for the new U-bolts that didn't come with the nuts that they said they came with. By a miracle he found some. THANKS MAN! For the extra effort!!!

A 3-4 hour job turned into 9 hours. Isn't it funny (hilarious? infuriating???) how that happens???!?!

Anywho........

My Raptor all the way on the right......

2012 Tuxedo Black
37-inch Cooper STT tires
Replaced stock suspension ---
Front - Rebuilt FOX Shocks by Hammer and Eibach Springs set on low-perch
Rear - Icon Leaf Springs with extra leaf added option #3 and Rebuilt FOX Shocks by Hammer

This truck now rides like brand new!!! My wife, as a passenger, without ANY coaxing from me, commented in her first ride across several speed bumps, "OMG! This is SOOOO much better!" That was a few days ago after we had done only the fronts. The back end was still bouncy.

She went with me to Gumby's house and hung out with his wonderful wife all day (in the nice warm interior of Gumby's incredible home!) while we froze outside working on my ride. After we finished, put everything away and cleaned up, we headed out to get something to eat. She immediately noticed that the ENTIRE truck rode like it was on a cloud. You could hear bumps outside on the road, but could BARELY feel them. If you were blindfolded, you would not know how severe of a pothole or bump it was just by the slight evidence of feeling inside.

I LOVE my Gen 1 Raptor!!!!!

Thanks @Gumby and @mwaite09 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you guys, man!

Man date or not, looked like a good time !

 

[Gumby]

I am fine with man date. We definitely got some stuff done as always. I didn’t know @Bozz. I met him here. I guess FRF is a mans dating site. Lol. Good times I can see the three of us getting into all kinds of stuff together @mwaite09 already do. Lol I own a raptor because of him.
