That certainly does look like a blast!

Not enough rebound damping. Come of Fox, update your shock software.

Definitely nice air!

Actually, upon further reflection, I was probably in Normal mode.

I’d been running laps in Baja when I stopped (and turned off the truck) to talk to the guy who ultimately offered to film me. Im pretty sure I didn’t re-select Baja.

it seemed like a lot of rebound after watching it too many times.

Very impressive, but as was pointed out, that is a heck of a lot of rebound. I don't believe putting it in Baja mode would create enough dampening. I would hope that the Fox system allows you to manually adjust the rebound.

Baja mode, maybe not. Definitely something I’ll be investigating further.

One consideration is that was a pretty dang big drop. While the wheels were only a foot or so off the ground I probably dropped down 12+ feet from wheel separation to landing. It’s a lot taller than it looks on camera.

It was indeed a big drop, and your Raptor handled it well. Hopefully, some adjustments to your fox suspension will correct the damping.
Good luck, and a great vid by the way, thanks for sharing.

That looked fun. How fast were you going on the jump?

Somewhere around 50, I think!

Curious if you let off the gas pedal just before takeoff. It appears that the rig was nosing forward which contributed to the rebound…so that should have helped I think.

 

[JohnGalt]

Yep, I got off the gas at/near departure.

Fly!

There is a standalone aftermarket Fox system for fine tune adjustment if you want to go that hardcore, the F150 guys run it.

I blew a flare of at 42 mph landing ever soo slightly heavy passenger side, used all the travel then some lol

FYI - Baja Mode would have helped significantly as it provides more compression and more rebound damping and is specifically for fast and tough terrain. You can "manually" adjust the Raptor suspension but only in that you can choose a GOAT mode or choose a suspension mode manually (the former just does the latter). The manual suspension options are Normal, Sport, Off-road and Baja. Individual compression or rebound adjustments would be well beyond 99% of owners...
