i tested tires for them and they were also a sponsor of our offroad group. a few years back. their mt tires have deeper tread, but a softer compound. the xt is the all terrain and has a little harder compound, but 2/32 less tread. both work well. they claim their mt is 14%better in the sand. they seemed to do well in the dunes in wyoming.

Neighbor came by, helped remove the P-side cat & exhaust section. Ford designed it so the exhaust crosstube is welded to a heat shield, which is part of the trans mount. And that exhaust section will  almost come out, but not really, unless you drop the crossmember. So, you gotta lift the transfer case, drop the crossmember, remove the exhaust, then put the crossmember back, and  THEN you can safely remove the transfer case.... and transmission.

Does anyone have any experience with the “Fox 3.0 Factory Series Rear Bypass Shocks” for the rear??? I feel like I have reached the limit with the stock rears with deavers and stock fronts with geisers. Basically are they worth the $2200 in performance? I’m not really interested in going with 3.5”s.

i added a leaf from a local shop and had them re arched and use rebuilt oem shocks for my rear. i have a 13 leaf pack now. works well for me for the time. one day when i can find rear shocks, i will get them.

The stock Raptor Gen 1 rear suspension was a big leap over the regular f150 design. And Deavers +3.0 Gen 2 Foxes are a big leap from Gen 1. But there's got to be a way to swap in a short-course style 4link onto the most popular truck on the planet. Ruff Stuff sells a WIY trailing arm package for $1250 including the heims while a set of Deavers is $1600.
