New to me 2012 Ford Raptor

[12RaptorCanada]

Hey Guys,

Just picked up a 2012 Ford Raptor. Its got a few mods done.

Its got the 2.9L whipple supercharger.

Fun truck so far, I definitely need to get the shocks rebuilt.


Ive read lots about the Gen 2 Shocks, Almost a 50/50 to do it or not.

I am mainly driving the truck in town or logging roads, No baja racing or jumping the truck.

I have found a set of new 2019 live valve fox shocks, with shrader valves and RPG delete kit.

From what I've read I can install these right in, and or add KHC buckets or limiting strap

Also, The front springs, I do not believe they are stock, they look like progressive. Maybe geiser or eibach?

Any thoughts?

Digging the graphics, suits the truck well. Congratulations on your new purchase! How many miles are on it?

Very nice!!! It does look like they are progressive rate springs (and mid perch), I'm guessing Geiser with a powdercoat. Curious the sway bar links have grease zerks. The Gen2 rears should be a direct replacement but the fronts you need that KHC bucket or the Mikra adapters or spacers. You could always rebuild the stock shocks, there's an awesome DIY thread in the suspension forum.
