I did the readylift solid spacer and I am very happy with it, especially since I added the Iron bull bumper and winch to the front at 200 pounds... I might yet also do the mid perch to help off set the weight of the bumper... But its mine and I do what I want..

Come now really..,with the thousands of Raptors out there no one has the perfect no Bull set up for this? I'm I one of the only few that wants a level truck? Someone has to have the No Bull solution for this option.:rocking:


I am trying to understand if you have actually read this thread. Please tell me you just jumped in here. :madcow:

The "mid perch" is a fairly simple way to level most Raptors. Lowering the rear simply does not make a lot of sense. Think about it........................................

I got a friend who just bought a 2012 but the dealer already had installed a leveling kit
on it. Now he's the kind of guy that will probably never of road this thing so he wants to know if he will be ok leaving it as is since he just drives on the hiway? Reason he asks is because he would hate to have pay to have it removed and then move it to mid perch. Any thoughts

I'd rather pay to have the level kit removed and re set to mid perch rather than pay to have it removed then pay on top of that to replace everything it ****** up. Leveling kits are a no-no.

If he is not going to off road and never put it in 4wd then its pointless to remove it... Leave it be..

Just bought 2014 and it has a spacer block and is on the lowest perch. Going to remove the block and set to mid perch this week. Do you guys know if its just removing the block, or is there a stock sized block that i need to put back in? Want to know what I might need on hand before I pull the front end apart.
Thanks
