Anyone have any additional thoughts on the RPG or cantilever set ups in general? Doesn't seem like there's too many people with this set up out there, so it's hard finding additional information on it.

I like the idea of keeping the bed space, but I don't like the idea of having to cut the exhaust pipes off. I am in California, so I don't know if I want to deal with smogging hassles with cut off exhaust pipes. I want at least one "normal" car/truck, haha.

The RPG RST18 bed cage looks to be fairly minimally intrusive to the rear bed space already anyways, so it does kind of minimize the benefits of the cantilever set up in that regards.

i’m interested too, the rst 18 probably gives more performance but i’m not prepared for the bed full of mud, water and dust, curious how well the 3 type shocks function in a levered set up, wish there was a descriptive review

I have a cantilever setup on my Jeep JK in the rear. It works very well but there are more maintenance items and more moving parts. On my Raptor if I wanted that much travel I would stick with a system like the RST18. Yes you have to cut into bed but It doesnt take up that much of the bed area and far less moving parts.

I like the idea of this kit and probably get it in the near future.
I have icon leafs on my gen 2 set in option 2 and know they should work with this kit but wonder if there is something I may be missing.
Of course deaver +4 would be ideal but don't want to have to purchase new leafs for this kit

Can you ditch the leafs and install a coilover? Seems like a lot of work for a couple inches of leaf travel....
