Check your tire pressure. Mine is at 35 front and 34 rear and no problems at all.

38 psi

It was at 45 and I reduced it before driving back

I think 38 is too high, in fact soon I will try 33 & 32. KOs are reasonably stiff in the sidewalls, although the C range ones are pretty flexible.

I find 38 to be just right for me. They were at 40 when I got the truck in June when temps were in the low 100's. I lowered them to 38 and they felt good. With temps now around 70, they dropped to around 35 and the suspension felt a bit numb. I brought them back up to 38 and the ride is good again.

It is a trade off. The ride is better over bumps (like when you air down off road), but the sidewalls flex more. That can make the steering feel a little mushy.

The truck doesn't handle like a regular truck. I drove mine 2000 miles from Missouri to California. Just beware of the bumps on curves. I experienced one going 80 mph but I knew not to over react and let the truck do its thing.

I wondered if the 2019 shocks addressed that. I have a 2018, and when I hit a bump at 70 mph, the rear end feels airborne and it lands at a slight angle (either to the left or right). If you anticipate it, it’s not too bad to control.

I always watch the cars ahead of me to see if there is a bump in the road. Just so that I know it's there and don't over react.

Mine just arrived! It was a dealer allocation that they adjusted to my specs not a special order. Allocation was put in right when the 2019's came up in October, BLEND date was 11/29 and it just arrived two days ago (12/19).

Edit: This makes my 6th Ford and my 3rd Raptor.

I have a question.

For those who ordered the bed extender, is the bed extender installed at the dealer or factory?

I ordered the bed extender, but now think I would like the divider instead.

I would hope I could tell dealer not to bother to install it, so I can sell the extender on ebay and then get a divider with the cash.


I ordered the extender thinking I needed it to Qualify for the Section 179 deduction(which says you need 6 ft + to qualify) but just thinking iam going to go with the mileage deductions(gonna buy other equipment in 2019 for business anyway) .

Let me know!

Correct me if I’m wrong but all you need is GWVR 6000lbs or greater to schedule 179 your vehicle.
