[QUOTE="MTF, post: 325258, member: 499"] I just had mine installed 12/20/2012 for $200, Have to say getting the SD Nationals has not been a smooth transaction so far, right now I am not 100% happy. First and formost, I ask to have the same ride height as stock, this is not what I got!!! I'm at stock bottom perch and now the Standard Duty Nationals Springs have lowered the rear an 1 1/4" making the truck almost level, IMO I now have the lowest Raptor on the street. It drives nice as far as I can tell, only drove it a couple of miles so far, not enough to really judge. But the steering seems strange not sure if I have to get an alignment now, or maybe I have to just get use to it. And I now have to adjust the head lights, not only can't I see the road well at night, I'm blinding everybody. I got the flashy thing three seperate times going home. [IMG]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/attachments/f9/14565d1356237250-national-standard-spring-frame-mount-alignment-2012-12-20_17-22-48_803.jpg[/IMG] Sorry for the fuzzy pic Went through Jarrett at RPG. I'm trying to give them a chance to straighten everything out before ranting. [B]Poor guy had problems Friday and never got a chance to take care of me. [/B] Steering is different that's for sure, and the only thing of any weight is the bed cover, maybe 80 lbs. Jarrett mentioned something about the bump stop plate but I don't know how much height that would add. [ATTACH]14579.vB[/ATTACH] Alright she's got a little rake left in her, I been driving her for two years with stock setup and she now is a good 1" to 1 1/2" lower. It is a big difference to me at least. I was never able to see the hood of SUV's behind me, now I can see half the hood I was so confident that there wouldn't be an issue, I did not do a before and after pic [ATTACH]14580.vB[/ATTACH] Rear height [ATTACH]14581.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14592.vB[/ATTACH] Front height Now, I hope I don't have this problem with the bushings as well. I wish I had seen this Thread before I installed them! [URL]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f9/national-standard-spring-frame-mount-alignment-18973/[/URL] I could have ask the shop to check how tight the top leaf crimps around that bushing or at least get an opinion.
