Raptor fishtail over small bumps

[Sam9778]

I've just had my 2019 raptor for around 600 miles. It was okay when it was around 400 miles, but afterward my truck fishtail over bumpy road and potholes. It only happens in the rear. I checked the suspension and there wasnt any oil leaking from it. Can it be the live valve system not working correctly?

I'm sure everything is fine with you ride. It's just the nature of the best with a long travel suspension and a light weight box. Live Valve only adjusts compression and not rebound.

Nope, shocks are fine. Its a light a-- truck on the back end and she will dance for you on a bumpy road. Hey its sort of fun when you think about it. Drive it like you stole it and enjoy the ride my friend.

Tire pressure. Try 36-38 psi front and 32-34 rear. Makes a big difference.

Haha! There are many potholes if I go to the country side in my country. Just afraid it might be dangerous to drive with the rear end fishtailing around 15mph. Do you think Baja mode at higher speed would help reduce it?

No, not if your tires are over inflated and 38 is too high, you'll see more guys saying 32-34 is good start in the rear tires.
Also the stock springs suck ass both in the Gen 1 and Gen 2

Thanks for the information. I’ll reduce my tire pressure and will take it for a test.

Update!
It works! I tried the following tire pressure you posted. It makes around 90% difference. Am happy with it. Thank you!!

Yes, I couldn’t believe how much a cheap mod like tire pressure could make.

Glad it worked out for you.
