    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    99k. Only recently became noticeable and improvement was significant. Used Duralast Gold balljoints, which are servicable. UCA bushings were fine/no play. Don't need to replace entire assembly.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Forgot, also replaced ball joints in both UCAs. With the recent new OEM shocks the truck is driving like new again.

    180000 mile 2017 raptor?

    FRF members of a certain vintage are still scarred by 70/80s american cars that turned into a hot mess as they approached 100k.

    GEN 2 About to do a shock swap, 1/4" strut spacer okay?

    Those are the correct part numbers. Check your UCAs before you get them installed, you'll want to replace at the same time if needed.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    4 new OEM shocks installed. 97k on the originals and man, I want to punch myself in the nuts for waiting so long. I'd forgotten how well these trucks ride on fresh shocks. Getting spares rebuilt locally so they're ready when needed again.

    Icon vs Deaver follow-up

    Deaver +3 SD, holding up great, 10/10 would bang again. I bought used, not sure how many miles were on them, and have put 40k on them. Rustoleum keeps the surface rust at bay, which is the only downside I've found with them.

    Overhaul Time

    I just ordered full set of shock from RA, cheapest price around. They arrive today and are in stock. $230 cheaper delivered than tasca. I'm going to have my current shocks rebuilt locally for $140/corner and keep for next time. Check out your driver side valve cover. They are known to crack...

    Any tips on how to prevent vehicle theft?

    Can you post pics of relocated horn please? My low tone is dead and I want to relocate it when I get around to replacement.

    2018 Shock rebuild recommendations - Cali

    I found the stock springs too soft for my taste, especially when it came to brake dive, and driving style. My rear springs were also completely flat (replaced with deaver +3) and that didn't give me much confidence in the oem springs so I replaced them all.

    Geiser +3, Deaver +3 SD, and TSW rebuilds

    Give the springs time to settle. My 18 has Geisers and deaver +3 and doesn’t have these issues, and my shocks have 97k on them lol. (New shocks on the way)

    2018 Shock rebuild recommendations - Cali

    Can’t comment on whether you should change springs, but now is certainly the time if you want to. I like my Geiser, others like the eibach, plenty of threads to search.

    GEN 2 Geiser springs and shock travel.

    I bought my geiser springs used and didn’t experience any off the ill effects you mention, probably because they’d already settled. I put some more miles on before changing anything else. Maybe it’s a live valve thing, I’ve got a 2018.

    gen 2 eibach labor cost

    I was recently quoted $530 to install new front shocks (labor only, w/o alignment) and transfer my geisers over. Paid $1k for original geiser and deaver install, incl alignment a few years back.

    Pads and Rotors Recommendations

    Less fade = shorter stopping distances. Not a noticeable difference in the starbucks lot, admittedly, though tire shine overspray probably comes into play there.

    Sync 3.4 Update

    @quattrojim Thanks, just seeing these replies. Here's the phone mount I use, it's been solid and works well: https://getoffroam.com/products/phone-mount-kit-ford-f150-2015-2020 Would it be possible for you to email me the files? Downloading off their site freaks my low-tech self out a bit lol.

    Pads and Rotors Recommendations

    Less dust and more noise during light brake application. The pads are semi-metallic I think. Better modulation, pedal feel, less fade and shorter stopping distances than stock. I was surprised by the performance difference honestly, as was a raptor owning friend who also drove my truck.

    ^This has been my experience as well. Another vote for ravelco too.

    Stock Shock Life Span

    This is the set-up I've got, though my bump pads are a different brand that I can't recall. Geiser 3", Deaver +2 SD. Install ran me around $800 for all w/ alignment for reference.
