[QUOTE="Joey, post: 1627417, member: 21133"] please bear with me, have zero mechanical skills & trying to work this out as I learn Have a 19 Raptor with a BedSlide installed as well as a Diamondback bed cover & have somewhere around 300-350lbs of total weight in the bed & it’s starting to squat in the rear, so it’s time for a suspension upgrade. Do not want to cheap out, but doing it on a tight budget & trying to get the best bang for the buck & not go over $2,500 give or take including installation When on camping/wheeling trips we can put another 400-500 pounds of gear in the bed, then unload the majority & go wheeling, from Moab to the San Juan’s & narrow mountain shelf trails to sandy beaches & lots of highway in between Am looking at Geiser springs up front & Deaver in the rear. From what I understand, the Geiser springs will raise the front end 2 to 2.5 inches after it settles..... Am debating between the Deaver HD+2 & HD+3, do not want to end up squatting/nose up when fully loaded, but do not want a funky nose down appearance when unloaded & more of a level stance What does the hive mind think as far as Deaver spring rate, the HD +2 or the +3?? Also from what I understand, the stock bump stops are removed & not replaced when adding Deaver springs. What is the general thoughts on bump stops, from what I have seen, the aftermarket kits are expensive & not really needed unless you push the Raptor hard & jump it lots, is this true?? I’ve also read here that once you lift the front end & change the hight of the truck, you need to have a dealer recalibrate the live valve shocks as well as the adaptive cruse control, do you also need to have the headlights re aimed? Sorry for the long winded post, trying to work things out so I know what I’m talking about when trying to find a shop to do the install & not look like a total idiot & ordering the right pieces parts the first time [/QUOTE]
