Towing and Payload

[Wilson]

Ftroop,

We have used our Gen 2 Adjustable Bump System for years now with great success and have put thousands of miles of real world testing proving it's worth. Numerous FRF members have towed anything from boats to 30ft camper style trailers with our ABS system with no issues. It's basically 3 systems in one.

First and foremost it will protect the frame from bending upon harsh compression hits in the dirt. By adding a Fox or King 2.5 inch bump stop, you can put the pressures as low as 10 psi all the way up to 400psi depending on your need. For example, I have loaded up the bed of one of our Raptors with about 2K pounds worth of parts. Before we loaded up, we adjusted the bump can position to the tow/payload setting and pumped up the psi to about 225psi. When we were done, we dropped the pressures back down to 35psi moved the can back into the the normal stock position and we were good to go for normal use.

The Gen 2 ABS system also has the ability to move into X-treme offroad possition if you ever choose to go with one of our bypass racks or possibly an Icon RXT rear shock. X-treme offroad gives you about 2inch's of extra bump travel depending on what shock you go with.

Here is more info on the Gen 2 ABS system.

It's basically three unique systems in one kit for the same price as the others which offer 66% less functionality.

This is what I was going to recomend becose the guy that buys a raptor and says he's not going to off road it much haven't drove off road yet. You'll go every chance you get.

I would suggest you spend the money you are thinking about spending on towing modifications and buy a trailer suited to hauling the wood. I've got a couple of those electric/hydraulic dump trailers. They pull great and would allow you to center the load over the axles of the trailer. This will keep a lot of weight of your truck, so you won't have to sacrifice the ride you love. And when you get to where you are going, you can dump the wood out right where you need it. Another benefit would be not having someone throw a chunk of firewood through your back window or destroying a quarter panel with an ill-thrown log.

Good luck with your decision!!!!!

holy crap, an actual useful comment. and nothing aimed at jimbo.
