[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1592163, member: 25186"] this is the most inaccurate statement that I've read on this forum in quite a while. this is also inaccurate post #2 in this particular thread from you. 1. You can't use 3.0s with an SVC kit because they don't fit inside the arm. The coil diameter on a 3.0 would also cause contact with the axleshaft. There is no tuning adjustment performed on the coilover other than changing the spring. All adjustment is done on the 3.5, which is required for any real use. 2. 4.0s ( like I have) on my raptor have a use. - If you carry more than 500 lbs in the bed, want the extra fluid volume, want the shock shaft increase for durability and want more control over the entire travel range, they work great. - if you treat the shock and bumpstop as a complete system, you end up using the bump as a bump and tune the suspension in a progressive nature. Not charging the bump to 200 psi, like most do with smaller diameter shocks, also helps prevent bucking. with a 4.0 I can run 40 psi in the bump cans. 3. A great driver in a mediocre truck will always be faster than a crap driver in a great truck. This is not new news. 4. The price difference between 3.5s and 4.0s is negligible. all things considered, you can also stretch the miles between rebuilds out a bit more with a 4.0. Juice = squeeze. 5. I've blown a 4.0 in my "not enough energy over the back axle" raptor. If your assumption is correct, how is that possible? Instead of making a gross generalization, you may want to ask about the intended use and other dynamics... that is if you're actually trying to offer advice instead of opinion. Disclaimer: I am not a pro driver, but I do party naked. the on-road ride of the svc kit is phenomenal. The turning radius is not. you get used to it though. I don't think that I'd love daily driving mine, but it wouldn't make me hate the truck. I just wouldn't want to go through KR3s that regularly though. So far, I need to do tires once every 3-4 Baja Runs. If anyone has a legitimate question about the SVC mid-travel kit vs. RPG Vs HMracing Vs Camburg, I have been in and driven all of the above options. I have had the SVC kit on my gen 2 for over 2 years now ( My truck was one of the very first Gen2s with the kit). I've put about 20000 offroad miles on it. I've only had to rebuild the shocks once.
