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

I am just going to say, that you are some what wrong with the statement "it did not need it"
Preventative maintenance is just that. done to prevent failure. you can't wait until your pinion bearings are singing like a prepubescent choir boy, to do maintenance.

You don't wait until you have a rod knock to change your oil.

Change all fluids often!!!

I agree in terms of preventative maintenance. All I was saying is that at 23,000 miles I absolutely changed the rear diff fluid sooner than I needed too. It was pretty clean when it came out, having said that I’m a big fan of preventative maintenance and always change all my fluids before the recommended manufacturer intervals

Oil change. Yes that’s a coke case folded in half being used to funnel the oil. Mevotech sway bar end links greased. Tire pressure checked and adjusted. 38 psi front. 32 psi rear.

Here's a picture of the swaybar endlink adapters. If anyone knows who made these please let me know.

Would be easy to make your own. Pretty simple.

I'm thinking maybe trying some different endlinks that bolt to the stock location on the swaybar or stock endlinks, I will have to look at a photo of OEM to see if the will bolt in to the ADD LCA or just remove the swaybar all together. Maybe a small tack weld on the adapter to the swaybar to stop it rattling as I cant get it any tighter. It's a extreme angle to the swaybar end hole to the LCA location so I'm not sure if replacing the endlinks would do any good.

Factory Raptor end links will not work. I have run sway bar and no sway bar. 90% of the time really no difference in handling except in high speed (80mph +) asphalt corners (utah has some mountain passes the speed limit is 80mph)
Off road ride is better without sway bar.

Washed exterior, cleaned and conditioned leather with Chemical Guys “leather in a bottle”. Buffed out several surface scratches with Chemical guys clear cut and polish. And sprayed in some Chemical Guys “new car smell”. Truck smells like a leather store and a new car. If y’all haven’t tried the Chemical Guys products, check them out. I started using them when you could only order them, now they’re sold at Walmart

I think your on the right track either remove the sway bar all together or try the tack weld on the sway bar connection. Good luck! I bet the tack weld works.
