What did u do to your raptor today?

Interesting, the ICON RXT leafs show 145ft-lb. States to torque to 40ft-lb first then final toque when on the ground. I like actual torque values than the stock showing torque-to-yield as that is so subjective.

Hmmm just took a peek at the icon pdf that you posted and does it come with new front and rear bolts for the spring pack and the shackle? just curious because those specs are pretty far off from the factory ones.

Not subjective at all. Just involves a bit of math and the right formulas. Where the issue comes in is knowing what the material is. One you know what the material spec is, you can look up the yield strength....

But yes, I agree. They should simply provide a torque value. By stating "torque to yield" leaves the determination up to the mechanic, who without the proper inputs and knowledge won't be able to torque the U-bolt properly.

Joe, we are not all engineers....
So since you know the answer apparently for stock, what is the torque of the stock u-bolts, knowing the material it is? And yes, if you ever remove them, you are to replace them not re-use because they will already be slightly "stretched".

In between the snow showers, sunny skies and then rain showers I managed to get the raptor washed and put away in the garage clean.

We had a little bit of everything weather-wise this weekend here.

Roush Raptor got a wash and a wax. Ready to get dirty at the upcoming poker run with ROC on April 23rd in Nevada

Great looking truck. Plus it's the right color. NICE.

Is it normal to pick up that much oil?
