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

[thatJeepguy]

Love my setup with that

Painted the beauty rings off a gen 3 PP black, think i matched the oem black ones decently, used VHT alum wheel Satin black with some clear coat. Debating doing the whole wheel like this. Also sprayed rustoleum rust paint on each of the bolts which took forever.
Surprisingly still getting this range even with 37s

Nice setup, did you recal for said tire size? And are those stt pros or xLTs?

New front shocks received and installed! Thank goodness I ordered that pivot head 18mm ratchet wrench for those upper shock bolts! …rears are next when I get the time to install.

Raised the height about an inch from the stock coils.

yeah i did it with forscan, reset BCM and TCM and good to go, mileage was insanely low until i did.
XLT AT3s, loved them as 35s and love them even more as 37s. Balanced really well just like the 35s did, whisper quiet. I dont notice a massive difference in ride between them at D from the 35s at E, but they look cooler, and thats what matters.

Thanks for the info. I may end up doing the same thing. Guess it will be a couple of months before I find out. How about the weather tec mat for the rear? Is it close to the factory set? Thanks again.

Save your money. The factory front and back are very similar

Dude did you adjust the preload prior to installing? Or did they come like that? I have 1” preload on mine and I don't like the feel. While its not bad I am going to reset to stock height and to me it looks like you zero’d out the collar to get stock height. I called fox yesterday and they wouldn't confirm zeroing the collar would yield stock height.

Mine were pre-loaded to that point… although I did spin the collars around half a turn so I could have access to the Allen bolt for future adjustments. Probably would be ~stock height if I spun those collars all the way to the top of the threads.

From what I’d read I’d expected a 2” lift but only got 1”. I did notice that the springs are black on mine although pictures online show silver springs… not sure if Fox made a recent spring change ???
