[QUOTE="TrailWhale, post: 1460864, member: 19177"] Thanks, the new RTR truck is nice but I do miss my raptor, especially when I see another one on the road. Haven’t seen another RTR yet though. I considered doing Kings as well, but didn’t want the blue colored springs and end caps, and don’t see a need to spend almost another $1000 to ave them changed out. The red looks nice, and has held up really well, it saw some snow and salt on the roads in the northeast over Christmas and New Years. The spring rate probably is why they seem stiff, it’s by no means jarring or uncomfortable just noticeable. One thing I really like about the SAW coil overs are how the height adjustment works. As The collar Turns, it actually lengthens the overall height of the shock instead of putting more preload on the spring. I’m sure that translates into some reduced down travel, but I haven’t had an issue yet. And I have been 4 tires off the ground a couple times....you know for testing purposes LOL. I do need a better set of upper control arms, Trumps economic stimulus will be paying for that ;) Since I live in Florida and don’t see harsh winter roads, SAW said that on street only I could do up to 75,000 miles between rebuilds. Half on and half off-road they said do 40-50,000 and full off-road 7-10,000 miles. A more northern environment might need slightly more servicing depending on how bad the salt is and how clean they are kept. I’m sure around the 50-60,000 mark I will pull them and see how they are. At the rate I drive, it’ll probably be end of summer for me. Your profile says you’re in Augusta, I’m in Jacksonville, only about 4 hours away. If you want to meet up and take a ride in the truck just let me know. We can meet up somewhere half way if you’d like. Quality shocks are a decent monetary investment so I will help anyway I can.
