How much higher over stock did the +3HD’s sit when you had the 450lbs weight in the bed? I’m deciding between +2HD or +3HD. I’d be fine with 1 inch over stock which I know the +3’s are supposed to be, but I’m worried it would be taller in reality. Have to fit into my garage with a cap on…

Firing up this thread again - I just put my SmartCap on and hooked up the supplied T cable to the 16-pin connector under the truck. No luck getting the third brake light to work. The cable from RSI had an additional single ring-end wire with no instructions on what to do with it. Am I missing...

Maybe more importantly, when do we get a Gen 4? No time soon, I’d imagine.

I'll reply to my own question here and flag that in the video breaking down the AZ recovery (reposted below) the guy says NOT to connect the rope directly to the hitch pin, for the reason I stated above (potential to bend/break the hitch pin given it's no longer true sheer pressure). I trust...

Question for the group... In what situation would you use a receiver hitch d-ring shackle like the below? It seems like this just adds another (very heavy) potential point of failure. If your rope/strap has a loop in the end, wouldn't you always prefer to stick the loop directly into your...

How are you liking the setup?

I run the Lewis dog boots. I put one wrap of tape inside out around his ankles, (sticky side toward the boot), then put the boot on, then go around the outside of the boot a couple times with tape. Trick is to have the inner tape meet with the outer tape at the top so the adhesive of both meet...

I’m here to please

Dogs will get comfortable just about anywhere. I bet they’ll fit, but they might try to steal some space from your son. If you do go the topper route, get a remote thermometer to monitor the bed temp while you’re driving and know if you need to bring the dogs in. It gets HOT back there on warm...

I’ve started using this. Works well.

Thanks for confirming.

Ya, same tire size. All 35’s. I will say, I was SO glad to have a full size spare. I called a dozen tire shops in Montana and no one had 35” KO2’s in stock, so I drove half of my hunting trip and the whole way home (1,300 miles) on the spare. Trip would have been ruined if I wasn’t able to do...

Would there be major issues with running an E load rated K02 spare when my primary tires are C loads? I was in the middle of Montana chasing grouse and ran over an 8-inch nail. My spare is a brand new C load, and my other C load tires have about 15k miles. I plan to replace them with E load...

Piling onto this thread - I’d like to buy an RSI Smartcap for my 2018 Raptor if anyone is selling one. Located in Southern California.

When I was looking for a Gen 2 I was looking for white. I’ve always had white vehicles prior and liked them. Found a deal on a black Raptor, though, and I took it. I now prefer the black and would likely do black again if I were to buy a Gen 3. That said, I park my truck in the garage and I...
