"The Yeti" - 2013 Raptor build

[BIRDMAN]

As for the springs I received a SD pack and an add-a-leaf which will increase the height and rate to be a HD spring. So you get both when you buy their springs. I'm not sure of the third configuration.

I assume you are the 1st Raptor to have this beyond icon? When was this released?

Even ICON doesn't have it because I have the only set of springs. They took them off their truck and sent them to me. As far as I know I have the only kit right now. They wanted to release it at Havoc so since I was their display truck last year they hooked it up.

The pictures don't do it justice. The reservoir is massive like about the size of a 1L bottle of alcohol to give a reference.

Interesting. I'm assuming the add-a-leaf is like a typical setup where you have to have a shop completely take the leaf apart and add the new leaf and put it all back together, correct?

Yes something along those lines. It's certainly something you can do yourself.

DIY to take apart a spring pack? I thought it took some strong equipment to do that.

It's just a couple spring retainers and center pins. I don't think you have to disassemble the entire leaf pack.

Damn, if only the set up was released by raptoberfest

Looks pretty sweet tho. Interested in hearing more about the remote reservoir.

The shock, spring, and bumps are designed to work together to give much needed increased up travel to greatly reduce the "kick" that these trucks have.
15" overall travel
Dual hose recirculating heat pump reservoir.
Spring is user configurable to 3 different rates. Triple wrapped eye, friction reducers, anti wrap leaf
More to come

Where are you gaining the uptravel from? With a spring-over setup and the bump stops where they are I don't see how you've gained anything. We only have an inch or two anyways before rear diff explodes through the bed.

I was wondering the same thing.... Maybe I'm not seeing something...

If the kit still works how Dylan explained at TRR, the bump stops get moved up by removing a spacer on the already existing icon bump kits (thinking way ahead on that one). You get about an inch more up travel. It's not much but better than nothing. I went for a ride at trr and the kit performs really well.

Check out out the bump kit picture on the first page of the thread and compare it to the new set up. You can see the spacer is moved and the cans are set further up.
