Mid perch why?

[Coolhand5599]

Why set to mid perch? I have read ans researched this but I didn't see anything on why you would do this. What are the pros and cons?

It raises the front end and levels it out from the factory rake. Gives you some extra clearance. Tightens up the steering some. Plus there is peer pressure.

My understanding was for additional clearance. But some years don't like having that done to them, which makes me very skeptical of doing it to mine.

Not to be repetitive but it lessens the annoying nose dive when you brake. I also like the stiffer ride its a little less bouncy IMO.

Ok, so I figured it would make the ride stiffer. Thank you

LMAO @ peer pressure. (I've never been on mid perch and never will be)

 

[Huck]

I did mid for about two weeks. The ride was miserable as was the bump steer, where I worked the roads sucked and the truck literally would bounce across an intersection when turning.

Went back to stock and bought 3.0"s

Like someone said before, bottom-perched Raptors are just FX4's with a body kit

That's not correct that's top perch you're thinking of. The 2012 and newer raptors don't do well at all on top perch
