Ahhh ok. I saw your photo and have never seen a rear sway on one of these trucks. I have the RPG track bars. They work great.
I had a Helwig on my Raptor as well, it works okay. I ended up removing it, didn't need catching on anything while on the trail. It was a carry over from my F150 that I used to tow with. Still have it in garage somewhere.

Looks like you got some trash caught between your axle and leafs tho... :p
Yeah well sometimes you have to do what it takes. I couldn’t get the ride height I wanted so it’s a 1 inch plate.

I'm assuming you added that after the springs? Being Deaver will make any height you want. Largest I've seen is a +6 on a Raptor.

but now with the new set up I’m going to be looking at possibly removing the additional block.

Yes they are SVC’s and the Uniball inside the cup started to rotate when turning the wheel and squealed through the entire frame of the truck. Jeff said he had never seen anything like this happen after only 4 years. He was great at getting me taken care of. I have nothing but great things to say about Jeff and SVC.
Gotcha! I just rebuilt mine not long ago. Jeff set me up with all the uniballs and stuff for the rebuild. He is awesome to work with. Hopefully they never happens to me.

IMG_7218.jpegIMG_7217.jpegIMG_7220.jpegThis is my second time I’ve changed the spark plugs, I’m on an interval of every 15,000 miles. I’m sitting at 23k miles now. Not much difference from the first time I changed them to this go around. I watched Johnny Pythons video, and it helped tremendously, especially the part about blowing out the cylinder, however, I didn’t feel confident to do this after removing the spark plug so I blew out the cylinder before we moving the old spark plug. There was some debris that came up that I’m certain what it ended up in the engine had I not done that! Aside from getting the tools ready and looking at the video, it took me about an hour.
