Help in Houston

[bo1966]

Actually Pasadena. The largest 4 wheel drive parts installer/ supplier in the USA just told me they have the Icon front adjustable leveling collar in stock but, get this. They don't know how to install it. I'd be the 1st one. Uhm, NO. Not gonna mention the business name. I'm sure you all know it. Anyone know of a reputable place in Houston to have this installed

TMX in DFW/ Farmers branch is well worth the drive. Started specializing in raptors back in 2010 . Call and ask for Sam or Jason. They are also a vendor here on FRF

Thanks but I cant drive to Dallas if there is a warranty issue

looks like it's just a spacer to push up the lower spring perch. I would imagine any shop with a spring compressor could manage it

Try Miller Offroad Design in Spring, TX. He does excellent work on Gen 1 and Gen 2 Raptors. The best way to get a hold of Shaun is through his Facebook page. He is far closer than TMX in Dallas...

Also, you might want to consider the Geiser progressive springs instead of a perch collar.

Nick @ apollo optics should be able to point you in the right direction.

Not familiar with the progressive spring? Read nothing but good about the icon. Something I should know? Only going for the leveled look without giving up ride quality. Thanks for any input

Interesting I have the RPG adjustible that should be installed soon. Who said they couldn’t do it PM me to avoid them

The geiser option is going to lift the front beyond level and give you a firmer ride

If they're not comfortable installing the Icon kit, that's not a good sign. We can make a few recommendations. What side of town are you on?

The geiser's alone will make it higher in the front. I am also doing Deaver +3s out back to give the rear an additional inch of height. I have ridden in another 2018 with Geisers and Deaver +3s and I did not feel it was firmer in a bad way. In fact, it rode better than my stock 2018.

As others have said, if the shop is not familiar with perch collars, I would not trust them with my Raptor since that is one of the more common additions to a Gen 2.

I've read that. That's the reason I'm going with Icon

It would be nice if geiser springs were only 2" lift

Join the Houston Area Raptor Owners group on facebook. There are plenty of knowledgeable people in there.

I have been referred by multiple people to Miller Offroad Design.
