I went with Geiser Bros springs up front and Deaver +2 leaf springs in the rear. I also had werebuildshocks.com do the flutter stack on all 4 shocks. Fronts are on low perch which is approx the same ride height as mid perch with OEM springs. The rear stayed at approx factory height with the Deaver's since the block that's used with the OEM leaf springs gets removed. SDHQ has a kit to replace the factory bump stop strike pad (which is part of the factory block) if you don't have an aftermarket bump stop kit.

Perfect. Thanks a ton. Just what I want to do.

I rode in a truck with stock shocks rebuilt by werebuildshocks.com they had a flutter stack and some other touches. If you don't offroad much have them do a rebuild/tune and save your $$ for some bumps when you do play in the dirt.

I'm not sure if Fox's go on sale, but Fox and King (maybe Icon) have a big production delay right now, 2-3 months. I saw someone in another thread mention that it's a seasonal thing.

Thinking of Doing Mid Perch and Flutter Stack for wheel hop and leveling of the front end...IYHO did the Flutter Stack degrade your own road driving at all? I don't think Mid Perch should hurt anything...

I just did a mild suspension upgrade with rebuilt OEM shocks from werebuildshocks.com and I added progressive springs front and back at the same time. It's made a huge difference driving around town and I can't wait to try it out off road.

The cost should be about half of what you would spend on 3.0s.

So what exactly did the Progressive Springs do for you? Do our Gen I raptors come with Specific Rate Springs for OEM? I already submitted a form to these guys for an Exchange as my Gen I Foxes have 83K on them...these guys were highly recommended too.

How much did all of this cost?? I have a 2017 Raptor and it handles like a back of ***** over any stutter bumps/pot holes/frost heaves as I have documented in other threads so not sold on upgrading to 3.0s by any stretch although it could be nothing to do w/the 3.0s themselves and everything to do w/the rest of the Truck and how ford set it up...
