[QUOTE="TXRaptor, post: 1608772, member: 181"] Deaver +3s will make it squat even further when towing a 7000 lb trailer. My tongue weight is 900 lbs and my Deaver +3s sagged 2.5 inches. I have RPG Stage 3 air bump stops, so I bought 4" extensions, aired the Fox shocks down to 60 lbs and this reduced my sag to about 1" while riding on the air bumps. (Not ideal, but it was workable) After adding a Blue Ox 10,000 lb WDH I was able to reduce it down to about 1/2" of sag. To solve the sag issues, you can buy the Deaver +3 HDs and have a much better result without the need for Air Bumps and Extensions, but the ride will be considerable stiffer when driving empty. The power on the Raptor was great and the ride was acceptable, but I would not recommend using it to tow a 7000 lb trailer for long distances, as I was getting tossed all over the road on windy days. Ultimately, I purchased a Ford Super Duty Diesel Tremor 1-ton to take over the towing duties for my Raptor. The Tremor is an awesome truck and will out tow the Raptor all day long, which as you know, was never meant to tow anything more than a very small utility trailer. [/QUOTE]
