What did u do to your raptor today?

[Irregular F150]

Im at geiser low and deaver +3 w/oem shackles. so ive been thinking (lol) Maybe ill leave them on low perch and get the evil manufacturing shackles that drop the rear 1.5”. This extra droop wont over extend the shocks will it ? Thoughts ?

Five new tires, all 37's. Front end alignment. This with shocks, coils and springs in the past few weeks and I'm riding on a cloud.

Took ALL day, showed up at 9:30am without an appointment, but it was supposed to be Noah's flood today for the next 36 hours and I didn't want tires full of water. Barely a drop all day until I was driving home. 4.5 hours at tire shop (3.5 hours of that was just waiting for them to start). Had appointment the day before with installer ("Smoldering Rock") who informed me when the tires were delivered to them from online tire store that they "didn't have the equipment to install 37's. Oh, and you tires are not here. We don't know where they are." Had to track down at a store half-way across town. That burned up most of yesterday. Tired today, but happy that is done. Going to Michigan in 4 weeks to drive on giant sand dunes!

Replaced my Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires, which were EXCELLENT tires. Would go with those again in the future. We'll see how these Armstrong Desert Dog MT's work out. They have them aired to 65psi.

Icon Leafs are already settling nicely already, they have probably dropped an inch and change... when I first picked it up the bed rail was above my shoulder and now its below. I'm still not sold on the option 3 as it sits now. I am considering getting the +2 shackle from RPG which should lower it a bit. I also may just hold off and see how it settles... plus this will just push me to get Geisers up front.



Addition: I noticed that passenger side leaf is striking the exhaust... I was just going to cut it off just past the muffler before the axle. I shared this idea with my step-dad and he got all spun up about it, talking about CO2 poisoning and all that. I'm like yo dude a bunch of people run mid dumps anyways, its behind the cab, I don't think we need to worry....

This is a few days ago, 1,000lb load in bed when taken (bagged mulch), 800lbs behind the rear axle, 200lbs in front of axle. Icon leafs installed 3 weeks ago on Option #3.

Yeah it’s known that the exhaust doesn’t clear deavers. Cut it, and dump it , you will be fine. Besides, the CO2 is already being filtered from the cats. It gave me an execute to get the JBA side exit exhaust setup when i put my deavers on.

Battery operated CO2 detectors are not that expensive at Home Depot.you could put one in the cab for a short bit to be safe. If you wanted. CO2 is heavier than air... the open floor would be the best place. FYI

@Gumby good call. Easy piece of mind.

@Gen1TillDeath I'll cut it and call it good until I cam get a proper dump or side exit.

It might help with the step dad thing. and your own piece of mind.
