Finally taken her off road!

At the risk of derailing this thread even further, top perch increases the angle of the driveshafts and accelerates the wear on the CV joints. For those that off-road often, the wear is exponential and results in much faster CV joint failure. Those that don't often off-road may get away with it for a longer period of time, but the CV joints will fail prematurely nonetheless.

Also, top perch extends the shock absorber beyond the sweet spot and creates a rougher, stiffer ride. Some argue that top perch makes the Raptor look the most level. However, I personally think it raises the front too much. I prefer mid-perch and that's what I run.

I recommend you take @vanilla_gorilla up on his offer to help correct the situation and drop your truck to mid-perch. They can also check your CV joints for premature wear and possibly prevent any future problems.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info, I will correct to mid perch then. She is due a service any time now, can I not have Ford sort it out?
