We have a couple "off the shelf" choices (Deaver will make us anything specific also). We will have a +1" spring which is on the black Raptor above and then we also have a +2" spring. The +1" will gain you 1" of lift in the rear after removing the rear block (so 1" lower than stock) and the +2" spring will gain you 2" of rear lift after removing your rear block (so level with stock). Both are the same price and same plush ride quality!

In the near future we will be offering a lower bump stop mount to go onto your axle for those of you who are removing your factory block.

Here are some pics and install instructions - http://www.superduty-hq.com/RaptorRearSuspension.aspx

Ryan, have you done anything to the Raptor suspension (other than the Deavers) to help keep the 37's from taking out the fender liners?

How do Deaver springs effect towing?

Not much different than the stock setup...which isn't very good. It feels more stable with a load than stock. Sag with the trailer is about the same as stock. I wouldn't go over the 6000 lb limit. Think Deaver recommends 5400lbs?

I haven't ran into an issue in the rear, yet... But mine is back in the shop so I will see what we come up with

It takes less weight to lower the rear when compared to the stock pack... While mine is down we are looking at a long travel rear bag set up for those of you who tow.. I will let you know what we come up with!

What about the front? I'd be surprised if raising the front suspension by changing the shock perch is enough to keep from having interference issues with 37" tires.

The 37's & different offset wheel do rub. 37's aren't for everyone.... With the fiberglass one piece and our long travel kit they will tuck nicely though!
