Treypal's Raptor Build and Prep

Why did you decide to go with stockers again? Just $$ or something else?

Money, plus I'm don't feel that a bigger shock is worth the extra money. You aren't getting anymore travel for your 5k, more dampening yes, less chance for shock fade yes, but I've never had a problem with shock fade, and I think the stockers work very well.

You could also have some custom valving done... Not much $$$ but definitely a big difference in performance! MicTouch has been valving his with great results so far, all around seems to be a good improvement.

New projects that I am fixing to do.

SDHQ brake lines
RPG Power Steering Reservoir. I plan on flushing the entire system when I do this.

I installed the RPG PSR pretty cut and dry, the video does a good job explaining the whole process. I flushed as much fluid as I could. It was dark brown, pretty much black. My plan is to run it a few days and drain the reservoir again just to try to get more dirty fluid out. The return hose now contacts an AC line, so I think I am going to wrap a bigger piece of hose around the return line and zip tie it on to keep it from rubbing through.
