[QUOTE="Degen, post: 1836030, member: 34662"] I know this topic has been covered a lot, but I haven’t found anything comparing KHC/Camburg buckets to Doug’s retrofit kit. So from what I under stand: Buckets:[URL]https://khcoap.com/products/gen-1-raptor-gen-12-f150-gen-2-raptor-coil-over-conversion-buckets?variant=41772242927815[/URL] Pros: Direct fit gen 2 shocks Longer shock body = more oil (?) More aftermarket options with the gen 2 shock Cons: Cutting old buckets out Spring rate on the gen 2 shocks is not great for the gen 1 Doug’s retrofit kit:[URL]https://mikramfg.com/shop/kits/f-150-raptor-3-0-front-shock-retrofit-kit[/URL] Pros: Uses the correct spring rate No modifying of the frame Cons: Have to disassemble gen 2 shock and gen 1 shock to make a hybrid Stuck with gen 1 style shorter shocks in aftermarket Has anyone had experience with both? Anything I am missing? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
