Stock Springs with Perch Collar

The issue was the front end being too stiff and also bouncy (too much rebound). He said it reminded him of driving a lifted Chevy, which we can all agree is a nightmare to drive compared to a Raptor. And yes, this was with Deaver +3s and aligned. He also has a Rogue slot delete kit and Icon Delta UCAs so it had to be aligned.

It's true that more guys just throw collars on than go with Geisers - that's easier and cheaper. And that's probably fine if you're going with a 1" collar. Beyond that, though, I think you're way better off with the springs.

I absolutely wouldn't touch a 4" collar. Basically sounds like a poor man's lift to me. Only a lift would probably be better in this case.

I have my RPG collars at 2.25 and they will clear BFG KO2 37" and sill ride sweet. If you basic off road, you can do some minor trimming of the plastic wheel liner with a razor knife and be good to go. I personally wouldn't go to 3" on the RPG, only because I like the plush feel of the stock truck. At 2.25 its still 90% the same as stock and sits perfect.

What's the offset on the wheels you are running?

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I made the decision to go back to stock height. For what I enjoy doing, the stock setting provides the most performance. I'm considering replacing the rear block with a smaller one. I tow our boat on average 10 miles each way and the potential rear sag doesn't bother me. Has anyone replaced the rear block with a smaller one or replaced the leaves that lowered the rear?

Quick update for the group: my brother got a chance to go on a Raptor run this weekend. He was extremely impressed with the Geisers off road, as were several other Raptor owners who road along. He aired it out a few times and reported only minor clearance issues with the 37s stuffed. Said differently, the fenders are still intact, which is obviously a plus.
