[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1485942, member: 31322"] I live in MA & when I do go offroading its on similar terrain as you describe (sometimes in ME - was supposed to be going camping around Acadia end of June but camp closed due to covid FML) - I also notice the rear getting skittish on pavement in similar fashion & seems to be the #1 consensus "weak point" of an otherwise extremely capable platform. I also have the Eibach leveling springs, however I held off on installing because I KNEW it'd sit the way yours does & I'm an OCD nut & one of my biggest pet peeves is either the droopy/wide slammed looking front stance some factory trucks have despite being 4x4 - like "over-raked" in the rear (last gen GM trucks for instance) OR the slightly nose-high stance equally. I am going w/ deaver +3 HD's after alot of research & my understanding is that they will cure alot of that skittish wheel hop/axle wrap behavior. Only reason I haven't pulled trigger on em & had em installed is I've been putting more of my money/effort/time on modding my toy/hobby car since its the summer. FWIW I went w/ the Deaver +3 HD's because I wanted the benefit of the reduced wheel hope, which I understand any Deaver or Icon leaf setup will alleviate, but I wanted to maintain the factory rake while loaded up and/or towing something in the 5k or less range. I also keep about 150 lbs in the bed permanently between storage box/gear/tonneau Only suggestion I'd make is make sure you're set on keeping the truck longer term as the cost to do this "lift" properly on a Raptor aint cheap - you got the front springs, the icon/deaver leafs are like $1500 or so + you need to do something in place of factory block/bump stop which can add anywhere from like $300-$2000 depending what you go with.
