[QUOTE="dude1782, post: 1154065, member: 21025"] That video is in some really huge and rough stuff first of all. Maybe read raptizzle's review because he seemed pretty pleased with it. Second, the video doesn't say anything at all about that; it's just a promotional video demonstrating a product. Third, you have no basis for your claims stating that ford performance is somehow inferior to svt. They certainly had very experienced people involved with development of the raptor and people that were involved with developing the original. They performed extensive off road testing and they raced the truck to test it as well. The truck is bouncy, but it is not dangerous or uncontrollable. The problem is that it has the same leaf springs as the standard f150 just like the original. To say that it was not developed for off road use or that it's designed as a street truck is crazy. It has lots of traction and handles very well except for the leaf springs. A lot people seem to forget that it has more travel and damping capacity. Progressive leafs will be a huge improvement just like they were on the original. Lots of guys go hard in their trucks and praise the performance. Like I said, the guy in the video was pleased with how it performed and he even said that it handled very well for the extreme terrain they were in. That video was filmed in Barstow where they test trophy trucks. He said he was pushing it very hard and described it as an improvement. I myself have pushed mine pretty hard doing high speed off roading, jumping, and rock crawling and I would consider it an improvement. It is bouncy and I plan on adding progressive leafs but it was definitely controllable and safe. The extra travel and damping was noticeably better. At 22 seconds in the video, you can see he goes over another bump. He isn't just bouncing from the first jump. Later in the video he is going over whoops. There isn't a point in the video with any excessive rebound. All the leaf springs do is buck a little, they don't throw you in the air like you describe.
