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

[BoostCreep]

Had new leaf springs installed and now there’s a slight rake. Now the front suspension upgrade search begins!

What did you go with for leaves?

What did you go with for leaves?

Dayton's. Practically OEM spec for now.

Got a personalized plate. It's a Navy saying and my truck is LFG which is pretty close to Haze Grey which is what the ships are painted. Did 21.5 years in the Military and bought this color because my connection to the Navy. USS Back Yard is used when we talk about retiring or not reenlisting. Pretty much says just going home.

Interesting guys ! Is it difficult to change ? Me too , I always been disapointed to not have the CF shifter which is far nicer than the origin... It's a detail but I notice now its possible to have a CF one, great new !

Its been awhile since I did it but remember it wasn't very hard. Im sure you can find a write up or video of the install somewhere. Def should do it if you don't like the non CF shifter. Was worth it for me

Shoulda went Deaver... the springs will settle too in a bit so I wouldn't go nuts on the front.

Deaver was 4x the cost, didn’t feel like throwing that down right now!

Thanks, but I miss the stance of the other set up.

Belated post on my weekend project, installed EBC dimpled and slotted rotors with extra duty brake pads. I won these rotors and pads in a raffle at rallycross and just got around to installing them. It was my first ever brake job on any vehicle I've owned so it was fun learning and figuring out how to do it. The 4th photo is the old driver's front rotor which had some pretty gnarly scoring which you could feel with your hand.

Overall super happy with the upgrade, the power increase was noticeable even during the break in period and I'm told they won't reach full power for a few thousand miles yet. I'm not sure how it compares to going the full BBK upgrade, but through the pedal I feel about 20-25% better braking performance which is noticeable. Overall happy with the upgrade!
