[QUOTE="Donmatteo, post: 1466794, member: 28245"] It’s possible it can be wheel hope. If you’re in the sand a lot, it could be. The springs aren’t weak by definition, but more soft out of design. Weak would indicate a flaw. The raptor is a soft, long travel suspension by design. wheel hop and over load or near overload would for sure have that sort of damage. I guess my questions would be... if you only tow, the damage would be cause by towing the deformed springs are causing the wheel hop. if you are on sand a lot and tow, the wheel hop would be the cause and the towing would add to the deformed springs. either way, deaver +2, drop hitch and a realignment of your trailer load would fix it for sure. Knowing the tongue weight is critical for the raptor due to the spec’s. If it was a regular F150, guesstimates usually work. [/QUOTE]
