Yep, with Dan. Yeah, that was a scary day. Fortunately turned out well in the end despite how it looked.

Thanks for info! I was just looking for a place like this in Sacramento area. glad to see you’re heading out on the ‘con with @popo_patty next week. If you don’t know him already, he’s a great guy! if you see a couple Raptors at Beer Tree waving as you guys go by, that’ll be me in the...

I thought the old school “wink” two posts up would have cleared up the uncertainty around this pressing social issue of “did he know or not?”. As events continued to unfold it has become apparent that my lack of clarity has resulted in ongoing consternation within this thread, I will seek to...

@MDrums first pic… its about 11.75” to the shock mount on the LCA and 14” gets me about an inch off the ground. Note I have 38” tires (3/4” higher than stock) and 2” spring lift ( may give some small advantage while raising). So theoretically that jack will work on this point. The jack does...

I’ve been using a Power Mountain TallBoy and a jack pad lately. It’s got a large stable base, attachments to get enough height safely for when the logical jack point isn’t available. packs compactly and rattle free. Doesn’t weigh a whole lot more than OEM. Currently $130. fate has a way...

Short segment of a trip to Bald Mountain area in Sierras. This is a cool little spur that took us for fun loop with great views On the way to the fire lookout. So nice I did it twice.

Thank you for your contribution to Science!

Probably doesn’t answer your questions, but click the link in the OP, or this: https://fordraptornation.com/collections/premium-raptor-series-perry-parts more than the typical aftermarket parts seller‘s amount of info. They offer a “no questions” 8 yr warranty on the bumps themselves. I...

Definitely interesting, check out the website in the link in OP. spoiler alert: it’s hollow inside and appears to rely on “valving” ( one or more holes) that let air in and out on compression and rebound. The material itself doesn’t appear to be very compressible, beyond the collapse of the...

I’ve got my 74 weld rack sitting in a garage cabinet. Just can’t summon the courage to rebuild it and put it back in. its broken twice (technically the first time only got to really loud clunking, but was still functional) vs. never for the stock rack. And it’s a PITA to get in and out vs...

Sorry to hear that but good to know! I could imagine breaking the ride height linkage on the trail could also throw it into a fit. Thanks, very useful

a couple comments JIC on the Forscan ride height calibration, but I think this is all in the Forscan instructions as you work through the process… first up, it will want you to put the vehicle on flat ground. take any significant variable stuff out of your car including yourself before...

You mean mounted like this? My ADD panel has held this for two years through a lot of terrain with no issue. I’ve seen other window molles that I would not trust with the weight. So the molle design is probably a more important factor than compressor weight for mounting like this. I checked the...

FWIW. Open AI summary on the topic…. AI never guaranteed to be 100% correct, but relatively objective overview. Q: What are the benefits of performing a ride height recalibration on a Ford Raptor after changing spring heights and other suspension changes? A; Yes—on a Raptor with FOX Live...
