Hey guys, I just picked up my first Raptor. Black 2013 screw with 50K miles completely stock. Future tire setup will be 37s and pretty moderate off-road, realistically mostly street miles. I originally planned on mid perch with stock springs and staying with 35s, but I've be reading a bunch about the Geiser progressives. I want to rebuild all the shocks and level out the truck plus have room for 37s and maybe help with towing.
My preliminary plan is mid perch with Geisers and Deaver +3s while rebuilding the stock Foxs. I might get Deaver to add a leaf or change the rate a bit because I occasionally tow a skid steer trailer. It wasn't that bad in stock trim, I just moved the machine back about a foot to take some tongue weight off.
Is there anything wrong with this setup? Am I missing any weak links that should be replaced while I'm doing all this stuff? Would a bump stop kit do me a lot of good? I don't see myself bombing through the desert but I do run it through a lot of hunting land.
Thanks guys and gals, I've already learned a ton from this forum. Dan
