Yikes. They didn't account for that during R&D?

If I'm you, I call Hennessey and see what they think. I'd expect they'll cover that under their warranty and take care of you.

Good luck and keep us posted.

The aftermarket springs out eliminate the spacer block which will reduce your wheel hop. Deaver and national make sets for the Raptor. Procomp also offers traction bars for the Raptor that should help.

What Hock said...set of Deavers or Nationals. I know some guys have put traction bars on too. Might want to look into those with all the added power.

On a side note I am glad the Ford dealer is taking care of you! I would have thought they would have denied the claim with the extra HP's your putting out.

Call again. Remind them of their recommittment to customer service and be sure to let them know one of the largest Raptor communities is watching.

Everything they've said about taking care of their customers sounds great! You're in a position that should let them prove those words with action. I'd think they'd jump at the chance!

Customer service out of Hennessey? :ROFLJest:

It ranks right up there with customer service from Kenne Bell and this is what you can expect: :flipthebird:

OP: I have wheel hop and my truck is all stock. Adding more power to the truck only makes it worse. It is a suspension issue.
