What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

Just ordered front/rear OEM shocks from RockAuto. I was close to pulling the trigger on a Fox Factory 3.0 setup. But, I hardly ever go offroad so I just couldn't justify the extra cash. The current set on the truck have 65k on them and have never been rebuilt (probably). I figured it's time. I can rebuild the take-offs and have them on the shelf. Truck has been babied (I think) and the old ones don't have a scratch on them.

Now to dive into the (search) rabbit hole of rear leaf springs..... and tires. ugh.

Have not regretted doing +2 HDs (tow a little). If you are not adding weight go +2 SD. I think people underestimate the value of simplicity and keeping OE front travel.

let air out of the tires.

That would get annoying. Lol There is PLENTY of room now. About 1" clearance.

New set of 35x12.50/20 BFG K02's on the way. Looked at all the other "rugged" tread tires and just couldn't decide. So I went with ol' faithful. I have Ridge Crapplers now and not impressed (they are old but still about 50% tread remaining).

20", that poor truck.

20", that poor truck.

Yeah yeah. I know. I bought it that way. I haven't looked hard enough at 17/18" options and I didn't want to buy wheels too (yet).

Left it home with the wife and took her gen3 to work the last two days to help save miles. Sad part is, after I get back in the gen 2 I think there's something wrong with the suspension cuz it rides rougher. But my gen 2 has a heated steering wheel, lol
So I get to compare the two frequently, which I have many opinions on.
