Yeah. In Wisconsin there isn’t too much of that. Definitely don’t need them, but I like to be aware of all the options.

I'm actually moving to 37" Nittos soon (but doing fenders, too). If you're not hooning it and if you run smallish 37s (BFG K02s, for example) you should be ok if you bump those shocks to mid perch and do some minor clearance work.

How does it ride with the Geiser springs?

Hey people and am back since a while now.
Today I did some exhaust tune up well, not exactly tune up, but the Helmholtz resonator to eliminate cabin drone, it helped a lot, the best $45 I have spent since I went install my Kooks headers and magnaflow exhaust system almost 5 years ago.
Also while the shop was working on my raptor doing the J pipe job, I also took the time to check on my auxiliary battery for my stereo system. The battery was fried already (see attached pictures) so I went to my local shop to get a new Stinger dry cell audio battery. Moving from Kinetik to Stinger, lets see how the new battery do in the coming days or year.
Now at least I know why my main Red Top Optima Battery used to discharge quickly when vehicle not in use for about 2 or 3 weeks. 271a66056b65969ee8aaf7b2dce5877c.jpgefd1dc531099bc015e74880d84620303.jpgab09b432e748184be50521b6cc400e1f.jpg84e7950efebb0e35f0de31347cebb645.jpg

Did you build the Helmholtz resonator or get one from a manufacturer?

What did you do to your Raptor?

Over the last few weeks I have added the Saudi Transmission Cooler plus 4 oz of transmission fluid. Easy install takes less than 30 minutes start to finish. Purchased from Tasca Parts. #DL3Z-7A095-B. Trans temps staying below 200, its not hot and I haven't towed anything up a mountain yet.

Purchased 5 BFG KO2's. Got an awesome BFG ozone warranty credit through Discount Tire for four original KO's less than 6 years old that I had traded for a few months ago. They had plenty of tread left but lots of dryness, cracking and splits. Had to dump the exhaust at rear of the muffler so the spare would fit without melting. It does fit just not enough clearance between pipe and tire. Deeper tone on startup. Not much different when cruising on highway, No Droaning.

Installed Blitzkrieg 1" rear lowering shackles. Looks and rides great. For some reason my +3 Deaver springs added 2" over stock. Sticker on spring says K96 +3 Raptor Baja Kits. I bought them off Craigslist from a guy that purchased a full Baja kits package for his F150 but decided to just use the block, front lift spindles and mobb his Ranger. Not sure if it was a 14 or a 15. Already had front set to Mid Perch.

Last but not least installed the factory Bead Lock wheels purchased from @Trick_Raptor last week.

Dude, totally digging the upgrades. Is the short pipe down turn off of the muffler a major benefit for clearance as well? I don't think I will ever pinch a pipe but with your configuration you definitely wont have to worry about it.

Great build on your truck!!
