[QUOTE="NY SCREW, post: 61827, member: 1888"] Long-travel Suspension Upgrades • FOX Racing ShoxTM help contribute to increased suspension travel – Front suspension travel is 11.2" – Rear suspension travel is 12.1" • Front and rear track width is increased 7" over F-150 • Improved tie-rods and ball joints •[COLOR="Red"] New microcellular bump stops help SVT Raptor soak up rough terrain[/COLOR] Coil-over-shock Double-wishbone Front Suspension • The standard F-150 double-wishbone design helps provide excellent steering stiffness and roll damping, allowing for precise suspension tuning, steering response and vehicle control • FOX Racing Shox [COLOR="Red"]• Raptor-specific microcellular bump stops[/COLOR] • Coil-over-shock springs were also designed and engineered with off-road performance in mind by making them longer, helping to increase the total front suspension travel by almost 3 inches • Larger, robust, cast aluminum lower control arms, with the SVT logo cast in, are light in weight, yet very strong, and help provide the additional track width for improved vehicle stability • Heavy-duty upper control arms are included to complete the front suspension design Hydraulic Rack-and-pinion Power Steering • Features a wider steering rack to take advantage of the wider front track • Includes a new power boost curve to help the driver maintain control whether driving on paved streets or on washboard trails • Rack-and-pinion design is engineered to provide low turning effort and good returnability and handling characteristics • Road feel is improved at higher speeds with a reduced level of steering assist FOX Racing Shox • High-performance FOX Racing Shox are featured on the front and rear suspension • Incorporate a patented triple internal bypass valve system to provide position/terrain-sensitive damping for the shock absorbers • At 2.5" in diameter, the FOX Racing Shox are considerably larger in diameter than the original equipment shocks to house the large bypass valves as well as additional oil critical to helping keep the shocks running cooler during rapid cycling – as when off-roading • Softer damping at normal ride height improves traction, stability and comfort • Stiffer damping near or at the end of the shock absorber stroke allows the truck to be driven more aggressively without bottoming out the suspension • Fox Racing Shox are a key factor in the SVT Raptor offering an impressive amount of suspension travel – 11.2" of front travel – 12.1" of rear travel Optimized Hotchkiss Rear Suspension • The rear suspension on SVT Raptor uses a proven optimized Hotchkiss design, standard on all F-150 models, that has been improved with the addition of the following upgraded features and components: – FOX Racing Shox mounted outside the frame rails to provide maximum axle and steering control and to minimize body lean – Rear shock absorbers include a large external oil reservoir to aid in keeping the shocks running cool. They also include a shock rod guard to prevent damage due to off-road flying debris [COLOR="Red"]– Microcellular bump stops[/COLOR] – Leaf springs are 64.5" long and 3" wide to help provide towing stability, and specially tuned to withstand the rigors of off-road driving while at the same time being flexible enough to provide a smooth, everyday ride – Track width has been increased to 73.6" to match the front, helping to provide a confident, wide stance .[/QUOTE] could this be fords anwser the the bent frame issue?
