[QUOTE="Loufish, post: 1383808, member: 26247"] My 2 cents.... Another reason to replace the rear springs is to be able to remove the 2" rear blocks....my first off road ride was full of rear axle wrap up when on the gas...very annoying and not good for the truck. 4wd improved the issue because now the front end is pulling with the rear...But I still run in 2wd, and even in 4wd there was still more wrap then there should be... Bump Stops....Rtmozingo is correct that the factory shocks have an internal "bump zone" (which is one of the things that make the Raptor stand out in suspension from other trucks) but if you are going to use most of your suspension travel Pneumatic bumps work with the shock to help slow down the bottoming, which should also make for a better ride during landings and hard hits... The bumps need to be properly tuned with the nitrogen pressure, mine came with way too much and came in too stiff (150 psi) and I dropped that in half which really changed how hard they hit when they come in now...My last outing the bottomed a bit too often, so I'm going to add 10 psi. Our shocks are tuned with a compromise between street and off road, so some guys replace them altogether, but I have to say my rear shocks seem to work togather so well with the new springs & bumps I'm not going to spend my money on expensive replacements...
