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

[Simplejack]

I installed mine 2 months ago and they have not settled. They are right at what Eibach advertised. Some guys said the same thing on an old posting when I posted my install.

Wait a few months and you will be looking to increase the rear. Icons is the way to go..

agreed, exactly what happened to me and that's why I now have Icons in rear. Now debating 37s when bfg's are done.

Just purchased 5yr 100k ESP from flood ford. Thanks to everyone who mentioned them in previous posts.

I've done a few things lately, but haven't posted. Just had all of the Sony speakers swapped with the Pioneer 4-ways w/dynomat listed in the Audio forum to compliment the MTI Acoustics sub enclosure that was installed last month. Also powder coated the front tow hooks lightning blue. Went with 35" Ridge Grapplers and now waiting to install my Cobb intercooler to complete the Stage 2. Also added the Carbon 88 carbon fiber door inserts and waiting on the door handle pieces, which are backordered.

1 for one swap on the Sony speakers? No AMP or anything else? How is the sound? Considerable better or just a small improvement?

I would say much more crisp and 'alive' than the Sony speakers and still only using the factory Sony amp. It was definitely worthwhile considering you can find the speakers at closeout prices on ebay, Amazon, etc... I paid someone to install them because I've been traveling for work, but the Metra connectors and plates makes for an easy installation. Overall, I am extremely pleased. Here's the multi-page thread that inspired me: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/diy-stereo-upgrade-for-under-500-00.53213/

Nice, thanks for sharing. Guy said he spend ~$500. I assume because he did most of the work. Safe to assume that you spent ~$750-$1000?

Are they online? Any chance you can post them up?

Yep online I just forwarded the installer the PDF. The final specs were dead on recommended

I like the look of your truck leveling out the front . What do the camber plates do ?

Thanks

thank you very much! It definitely made a bigger difference than I was expecting.

The cam kit helps to hold the alignment in spec. They were not required but the shop recommended them and they were only $80 so I said go ahead. In the spring posts I have seen some people install and some haven’t

That’s good to know as I am very happy with where the front is sitting now.

Yep that’s exactly my plan!

I put in a new air freshener does that count. Some of these mods listed are lame.. A friggin license plate bracket really? is anyone moding their trucks or are we in a stock as a rock owner group here..

That $114 license plate bracket probably (absolutely) helps the truck make more power consistently than the $250-$400 intakes guys are installing.

I know other gen 2 raptor owners complaining about finding a good way move the front plate & open up the airflow to the IC.

What kind of air freshener did you install anyhow?

I found a solution for the front licence plate issue. I put a ADD stealth R front bumper on and threw the front plate in the back seat. problem solved
New Car air freshener.. so special
