2020 Slightly Average and Modest Beach Build

Great build so far! What’s your verdict on the Ride Assist Springs? I had never heard of them.

Thinking of going with the standard Deavers rather than HD and then using those in the rare times it’s loaded.

I really like them so far, they actually raised the back some, which is fine because I will be installing coils in the front. Definitely increased payload. I will be posting numbers of fender height measurements

Today I had Eibach Springs installed and the 17 x 9 Fuel Covert wheels. The springs gave me 2" of lift, I will update when they settle

When I saw the thread title I was expecting someones dating profile!

Here's an update on fender height measurements, this is with Eibach's and RAS installed. I do have the RAS installed with the 40% payload spacers. I have not been able to tow my big boat, since it's been in the shop waiting on parts to come in. I will update when I tow with a significant load

Stock Height
Front 40 1/4"
Rear 42"

After Installs and about 1500 miles
Front 42"
Rear 44 1/2"

Did some things to the Raptor, added a topper and custom shelf. We're a surfing family and travel a lot with my kids competitions, so a topper is a must. I added A-Pillar lights from Rigid. I got it ceramic coated a little over a month ago.

Build looks great!

Believe that rubber roller sitting on top of the leaf springs - right under the RAS coil spring is supposed to be removed for this application?

Edit - Verified per Roadmaster instructions..........rollers should come off.

I removed the RAS a long time ago, never had an issue. Upgrade to Icons
