There were some youtube videos when the rapter released that were dissections of the color coded demo frames to show every spot that Ford added metal. I will try to find it, but I bet that would be a very good place to start. It really just looks like the suspension towers, bump stop area, and...

I think from the sounds of it you are just looking for a rear sway bar.

Just to toss in my 2c, I have the saber winch thimble that is small enough to tuck into the fairlead without looking as comically bulky as some of these and have been very happy with it. I did put a vinyl sheath on the exposed portion of winch line through the thimble so that it does not get...

Nice to see! I don't know the tpi, but 3/4" sounds about right to me. They are easier to adjust once installed, but more difficult to measure. Are you planing to pull the lower control arm chassis side bolts to get them out? or the knuckle?

I am at ~15 threads showing up front. Hard to get a tape measure in there easily. Stock badlands (skids, heavy front axle) with my custom front hidden winch mount. Total weight was around 90 lbs iirc.

The bump stops control the fender clearance unless I am missing something. I would think based on the 4wp lengths that 37s basically require a small body lift to keep the tire out of the fender, but otherwise the height can be set to as low or as high as desired.

Gotta say that after a few days of driving I am really liking the 500/200 split. Can tell it is a bit more plush and I like the fitment better at this height. I will update with final height measurements, but it goes for an alignment on Monday and will be all locked in from there. One...

I am .5” below stock badlands height on 33”s I got the fronts installed and it wasn’t bad. I pulled the two retaining rings and slid a 1” deep socket over the hex side. Couple hits with the hammer popped out the spherical. I did have to use spring compressors on the fronts but other than that...

Got the rears on. At the same preload amount it dropped about an inch. Little less than I hoped for but definitely better. Gonna try to tackle the fronts. I pulled the lower arms last time, but trying to decide it thats the best route.

@87-Z28 were you able to get the front springs swapped?

lol. I am very aware of where the radiator is. I am talking about the huge bypass that is opened up by intercooler swaps like this. It effects every raptor and some 2.7 broncos, mostly Badlands that have the intercooler that shares ducting between the radiator and intercooler. It can be...

I hate that huge gap it opens up to the radiator shroud when removing the stock intercooler. spikes your traffic charge temps and kills your radiator and condensor air flow from the fans when stopped.

Make extra sure Panda understands what you intend to order. They sent me the wrong springs after they curated the online cart for me. 🙄

Cant you remove the top and thread the collar off the top? I may need to go take a closer look. Thanks for reminding me that I need to order these though.

One thing worth noting is that if the blend doors are set to outside air and you turn the HVAC off you can still get airflow just from the cowl pressure at speed. If you set it to recirculate and then turn off the HVAC there is much much less flow , although still not zero at highway speeds.

I think part of the frustration is the techs have their hands so tied that they cannot actually trouble shoot. It takes about 15 minutes to remove the shutters and have the grill back together. He could have done a test to see if it is the grill shutters are staying closed in a half hour.

Something about these two photos does not make sense to me. You're showing in .1 of a mile your water temp went up 4 bars (however much that is). Secondly once moving the grill shutters can be completely closed and maintain temp at the indicated 65 mph(eco mode). It does appear based on oil...

Just means their expected input forces were off by 3X also. 😂

Theres an owners manual guys. Its on your screen and can be searched for even eaiser access. Just to help the next guy.

The 4wp front coils are 16" length per the spec and when I checked during assembly the lengths measures about exactly what they were called out.
