There you have it! Is there a reason for them doing this on the Gen 2's? All of the gen 1's seem to be opposite and have the tighter springs towards the bottom


Gen1s are smaller tighter coils on bottom... why... I don't know, the spring gods made them that way I guess, haha.

Just pick up my 2018 raptor today and haven't done much crawling around underneath it yet. Are these spring a simple home garage install or does a shop have to take the shocks apart and then recharge the gas in them after the spring are replaced? Thanks ahead of time this site has been a great research/education tool during my 3 month build wait.

U need a heavy duty spring compressor. If you do not have that and proper tools it would be easier to have a shop install.

Mine are getting installed as we speak with the addition of some new Camburg upper control arms. I will let you know what I think after I get it back later today.

If you could get some height measurements, that would be awesome. I have the SVC perch now and I am thinking about running the perch on the lowest setting with the Geiser springs. I don't want to discharge the shocks again.

I can give you some after measurements I measured the fronts before but cant really recall what it was...... I kinda think I measured 40.5" from ground to top arch of fender.

I will let you know later today

Where can you even buy them?

The Eibach springs lift the front too tall for my taste. Geiser any different?

nope no discharging or anything, but whom ever does the work will need a few spring compressors and be super careful lots of force trying to compress these.

I just got mine done with upper control arms today. Def a solid 2.5" gain and front sits higher than rear but I like it!!!

When you get a chance could you get some pictures? Maybe in a few weeks again also after the springs settle maybe with another measurement. What uca’s did u go with?
