hey whats up guys. this is my new raptor. right now truck is in miami, fl seated at the dealer waiting to be shipped to panama.


so i will be using it for a while as stock from the factory.

i was thinking to do mid perch and sway bar removing for a smoother ride.

what else could help to improve the suspension from the factory?

hey to be honest and no offense i dont really like the stock stance, it looks so narrow. probably will have to spend on a raceline bumper on the future.
wider offset as you recommend, not more than -6offset(4.50) B/S x9" wide
like how my father's raptor looks, but it has its cons on the suspension.

Yes rpg or icons are great set up, but for now will stay that way from the 3.0
You have to stick your head into the fenders in order to see them.
Beside they are great for the desert
I gonna try mid perch with swaybar off let see how does this set up go on the street holes and crushed stones roads.

It'll help ditching the sway bar.
The next biggest difference will be doing some nationals or deavers.
They make a huge difference on the square edged style bumps you are concerned with.

This is why i would like to upgrade to long travel or bedcaged rear suspension or 3.0 oem replacements.
The ford raptor cant handle those street holes with the stocks suspensions from the factory. You feel those street holes till theeth
