GEN 2 3” Geisers & Icons Option 3

[screaminfast]

Also curious as to what old measurements were. I am running Icon collars also and feel like the front end might have a bit more height to it, but I don't want to run severe angles on the CVs.

I didn’t measure beforehand but my collars were set to the 1.5” and I’d say I gained about another 1.5” up front and a full 3-4” in the back

Just measured again:

FL: 41
FR: 41.5
RL: 43.75
RR: 44.5

The parking lot I just stopped at probably isn’t perfectly level so it seems like both front and rear have settled about an inch. A spacer plate might give it just enough in the front to take out some of the rake as I don’t want to do drop shackles and lose clearance.

Thinking about adding these to the top of the front struts: https://www.suspensiondirect.com/shop/sdi-elite-gen-2-3-ford-raptor-front-bucket-assembly

Says 1.75" which should bring the front back up slightly. Plenty of room for 0 offset wheels and 37s, maybe even 38s.

Just spoke to SDI and they don't recommend using their bucket because it'll create "too much rebound for the stock components." So I'm back to thinking about just making a 3/8-1/2" plate spacer to go above the hat to give the front just a tad bit more height.

Was their response based on using their top hat with the geiser spring?

Yeah they said it’s designed to work with the stock spring so I’m back to figuring out how to add 1-2” to the front with none or minimal preload.

Fox FRS 3.0’s.

Fox FRS 3.0’s.

Aside from the $6k price tag, everything I read was they’re only +2.5” so wouldn’t I lose another 0.5” up front?

Why do you need so much ride height? If you want the lifted truck look you could use the 4” fabtech kit if that’s what you’re after.

I certainly don’t need it. I do like the way the truck looks now. Like I said above. Maybe a 3/8” plate would be enough above the hat. 37’s in the spring. I’m sure I’ll be happy.
