Texas Raptor Run Mods and product reviews

[Phyguy]

For you guys that did the national springs, 3 questions:

1.) SCab or SCrew?
2.) The regular or heavy duty National springs installed?
3.) How did they perform? (Apparently great)

Because stage 3 is on my long list...

2011 Screw
standard duty springs
awesomely. I'm more amazed every day. You'll notice how stiff the front is once these are on.

1. SCab

3. AMAZINGLY! Once I got back to Dallas I could really tell a big difference on the street manners. The truck feels so much better.

Yes/no.. I was more listening and acting as a sweeper.. It was great knowing what was going on the track.. Listening to vhf and gmrs/frs radios... We knew where problems were before we got to them... It would have been great if more trucks had them.

So maybe a base unit to relay info ?
This was a learning experience for future runs when we get 150 Raptors out !

Yes, this was a learning experience and a lot easier done with 50 raptors verses 150...

Yes, mine had driverside boot cut/torn...

After reading all the reviews and talking to jarrett today I ordered the rpg control arms and tie rods. If they can take all the punishment you guys have dished out. I gotta have them. I am on the top perch, really should have them anyway. Up next will be stage 3. Thanks guys for helping me with my decision. Just wish there was a raptor run near Florida.
