What did u do to your raptor today?

Yeah, I threw my OG caps out a few years back, just painted the hubs gloss black and dont run any caps now.

Im to picky to run the no cap style lol

Ill probably clean them up and put them in the sale section just in case someone may need some.

Do those new caps fit flush with the wheel center?

They should sit out just under how the lug hight is. I’m guessing its basically as tall as the small screws part on the ones im taking off. When i get time to put them on ill know for sure

+1 where did you get those caps from they are ****. I bought a set off a forum member years ago for my old NV’s and who first starting making them, then it was Chief Machining from what I remember but who’s are those ?

Installed my new to me rear shocks. Big difference in ride quality as the originals had about 130,000 miles and were completely shot. Will attempt to do the fronts with the Gieser springs and mid perch tomorrow. Only issue is I’m not sure how to torque the lower bolt to 460 foot pounds accurately.

Big-*** torque wrench is what I use, Summit/Jegs has 600ft-lb wrench for about $200, I used to borrow one from work but broke down and bought one a couple months ago. You can borrow mine heh, not sure which end of TN you're on but I'm just west of Conway, AR. You could probably wing it hitting that 406ft-lbs, like if you weigh 200lbs and have a 24" breaker bar but...I'd rather be on the safe side when it comes to suspension. Another plus about the torque wrench is that it's like 40" long so you can get plenty of leverage on it, even without a lift.
