Top Perch - Fox Shocks (adjusting your shocks to level the Raptor)

[IRONMAN]

You'll still get nose down on middle. Even the SDHQ guys said that Ford had originally planned to go middle but regulations prevented them from doing so.

Do it Iron!!

Come summer it's done.

you guys have the desert mentality. out here a nose high truck would beg the question "what's wrong with your truck?"

Top perch isn't as nose-high as you guys are making it out to be. Look at the height of my fenders.... they're pretty even. It's only very slightly nose-up, but it actually looks pretty level.



(Gotta love how clean white looks even when its absolutely filthy)

Sounds like *********** is what it's all about out east..

I hear ya though with people wondering whats wrong with your truck if it's nose high. When I had my F-150 on Oahu, I would always get comments about it. Cool part was the locals loved it. And if your in with the locals out there, you have one less BIG thing to worry about

Ain't that the truth! The locals sure do hate the haoles.

well, both. but i also think your tremendously low offset wheels tend to....offset the nose high stance a bit. for guys with stock wheel offset the look might be a bit off. in other words...go big or go home.

Mine will be on the middle perch in week one... two at the most.

I'd like to see a shot from the side. The front angle will actually make the fender gap look larger in the front and smaller in the rear.

What is the fender gap in the front versus the rear?

I did my perch adjustment shortly before I did wheels/tires. Not sure if I have pics, but it looked good.
Go top or go middle, both are better than stock..... But all I'm saying is I agree with Tizzle, don't be surprised if you go middle and then end up going back and re-doing it again to get to the top, like he did.

I will take a pic and measurements for you tomorrow and post results here.
