For SoCal I would highly recommend Baja HQ in San Juan Capistrano. They work on most brands, but specialize in Raptors. The shop is owned by a great group of guys who have been racing in Baja for decades and really know how to set up Raptors. These are the same mechanics that work on TT #16. All their shop/chase trucks are Raptors.

They have have a package called the Desert Assassins “Grocery Getter” which is what I had them put my truck. This includes Fox Racing 3.0 shocks, Deaver’s, Camburg UCAs, 37” BFG KO2s, Method wheels. I also had them install an ICOM VHF radio, Baja Designs Ultimate fog pocket lights kit, and the Bulletproof Diesel 3rd brake light antenna mount.

They can get just about any brand you want, plus their customer service is second to none.

Thanks Jason,
I checked out Merles Automotive and they are actually pretty experienced with Raptors. They've done all the builds for Seth Wadley for years and have done all the modded Raptors they had on the lot, minus the Shelby Baja Raptors they have. I doubt they have the expertise that it sounds like you guys have on these trucks, but I really wanted to roll the cost of the aftermarket into the truck note. So after I got comfortable with Merles, I pulled the trigger with Seth Wadley.

I'm flying into OKC when I go pick up my Raptor from them, but on the way down, I will definitely make it a point to stop by your shop to see what you guys do. From all the love you get around here, it looks like you guys have your stuff together on these trucks!

Because I was overruled on $6,000 for the Factory Fox 3.0's, I'm going to live with a leveling kit for now....

[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1302292, member: 25186" I brought my truck to the fellas from new orleans because they are the best this side of AZ/Cali.

Who would you recommend in Southern California?[/QUOTE]

Feel free to come to the shop any time.. Take a look at the parts before you buy. BajaHQ has been killing it for us. We were at their shop till late last night helping them get a truck ready for Baja this AM.

Back the "Live Valve" questions. :)~ Yes our SPC (Spring Perch Collars) work with the 2019 Live Valve Shocks.

Wow, thanks for letting us know. Is there any height restrictions on the front collar that you are aware of? What about the rear?

No Restrictions on the front collars. Rear. Also good to go.. You just have to keep the shocks on it.
