Thank you for your contribution to Science!

Probably doesn’t answer your questions, but click the link in the OP, or this: https://fordraptornation.com/collections/premium-raptor-series-perry-parts more than the typical aftermarket parts seller‘s amount of info. They offer a “no questions” 8 yr warranty on the bumps themselves. I...

Definitely interesting, check out the website in the link in OP. spoiler alert: it’s hollow inside and appears to rely on “valving” ( one or more holes) that let air in and out on compression and rebound. The material itself doesn’t appear to be very compressible, beyond the collapse of the...

I’ve got my 74 weld rack sitting in a garage cabinet. Just can’t summon the courage to rebuild it and put it back in. its broken twice (technically the first time only got to really loud clunking, but was still functional) vs. never for the stock rack. And it’s a PITA to get in and out vs...

Sorry to hear that but good to know! I could imagine breaking the ride height linkage on the trail could also throw it into a fit. Thanks, very useful

a couple comments JIC on the Forscan ride height calibration, but I think this is all in the Forscan instructions as you work through the process… first up, it will want you to put the vehicle on flat ground. take any significant variable stuff out of your car including yourself before...

You mean mounted like this? My ADD panel has held this for two years through a lot of terrain with no issue. I’ve seen other window molles that I would not trust with the weight. So the molle design is probably a more important factor than compressor weight for mounting like this. I checked the...

FWIW. Open AI summary on the topic…. AI never guaranteed to be 100% correct, but relatively objective overview. Q: What are the benefits of performing a ride height recalibration on a Ford Raptor after changing spring heights and other suspension changes? A; Yes—on a Raptor with FOX Live...

I was able to confirm the ride height was out of range on mine by reading the PIDs for the ride height values for all four corners using Forscan before performing the recalibration. The values should all be 0 or close to it. if not, run the ride height calibration. We also found the issue on...

I’ve had a different experience…. Most noticeable as it “chattered” on rough pavement after adding Hyperco 2”/1” springs. I performed a ride height recalibration using Forscan which was pretty easy to do. Ride was noticeably better after. If your ride height is not recalibrated, your...

Not sure if it’ll make a difference, but have you recalibrated ride height since servicing the shocks? If not, good to do and may change it a bit.

Electric seats? With memory? Next you’ll be saying they should put carpet in them.

Maybe they changed it, but the harness I have attaches into the passenger tail light area via pigtail. This routes reverse and running lights to the split DT connectors for two chase/reverse lights at the spare tire lugs. There is no Stop function via my harness. The “chase light“ circuit on...

the key on with the spare bracket (Fast Intentions) has been keeping the Torx security bit taped to a six inch extension Which I store in the raptor glove box tool kit. Really speeds up the process vs. yard sale-ing the truck to find the tools like we did in Reno Vegas run blowout debacle...

Auto stop start could be disabled on 22-23 Raptors, but Ford took that away in 2024. Can’t do it via Forscan either. The harness seems like the simplest path forward to disable the A.S.S for 2024 onward.
