Wheel Hop

[TXRaptor]

Roadmaster Active Suspension!

I have had it on my 2011 3.5 EB F150 for 5+ years and it pretty much eliminated my wheel hop issues. I will also be installing it on my future raptor. It also helps with sway and rearend sag when loaded.

A word of caution. I tried the Roadmaster Active Suspension with my Deaver +3s after talking to them several times online and over the phone to verify they would work with my setup. Their tech support department recommended the extended length version for a standard F150. After installing them the first time, the driver side popped off on a smooth road near my house in about 5 minutes. It sounded like a shotgun went off in my rear wheel well. I talked to them again on the phone and I foolishly agreed to install them a second time with a much tighter torque specification. The second time they lasted about an hour under normal driving.

Needless to say, I removed them. Since they made the initial recommendation, they agreed to a full refund without a restocking fee, as long as I paid the return shipping.

Didn't have the wheel hop show its self until first off road excursion...hit a small sand wash in 2wd and there it went - axle wrap. 4wd eliminated just about all of it off road...
Sorry but Ford running blocks in the rear instead of running a better spring pak is off road sin....

You asked for advice on wheel hop, not about saving money!

LOL, so true!!

Won't running in 4A solve most of the wheel hop?

Yes, for the most part. Won't help the jittery rear end tho.

My Deavers show some rust, 5,000 miles on them, but no major issues and the improvement is worth it! Now get a good bumpstop kit and get that truck in the dirt. You will love the Deavers even more

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

Raptor Assault instructors said to run 38 front and 34 rear due to less weight in the bed.
