RPG Perch Collars on OBX Sasquatch

[Stu10]

UPDATE: Added after pics of RPG Perch Collars (2.25 front and 1.25 rear), 20x10 Fuel Rebel -18 offset and 37x12.5x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I am extremely happy with how it turned out. The pictures don't do it justice, it is way bigger in person. Looks like a tonka truck. I was really worried the 20x10's with -18 offset were going to stick out too far but they look just right with the sasquatch flares. I had to remove the OBX running boards as those rubbed and do have minor rubbing full lock in reverse on the plastic piece behind the wheel well closer to driver. I ordered the JKS max clearance kit and that should solve the rubbing.

As expected I lost a little power and the steering is not as solid as before. Still drives great for the added weight and tire size. The RPG collars are great. I was worried it may stiffen the ride too much but I barely notice a difference in the firmness going over bumps. I also did not upgrade any other of the suspension parts or steering. Open ears to what everyone suggests as the next upgrade to do to help stabilize the ride with the bigger tires and lift. Was thinking new UCA's, rear track bar and upper and lower rear control arms. Will eventually throw on some new shocks (Fox/Kings/Icons - TBD on what I will go with).

Just received my RPG perch collars (2.25" front and 1.25" rear) for my 2022 OBX Sasquatch. Great service from RPG as they emailed me immediately after I had put the order in on their website saying they were in stock and that they were putting them in the mail for me that day. Ordered Monday and came in today so got here quick.

I am getting them installed on Monday along with some 37x12.5x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and 20x10 Fuel Rebels (Black). I don't do much off-roading like a lot of you on here so going for more of the show/mall crawler build. Also have the 5" ADV fenders that I am going to throw on soon along with a full satin black wrap.

Here are some before photos and a shot of the RPG collars. I will post up some after pictures next week and give my quick review on the ride quality after the perch collars go in as I know it will stiffen up the ride a little bit more.

Are you keeping everything else stock..UCAs stock and no additional lift? Let us know how it goes post pics.

Nice putting RPGs on my Braptor this summer

Yes, for now just keeping UCA's stock. If I did upgrade would just stick with RPG and get their UCA's.

Do you know if you truly got the 2.25” front the lift up front? I gained a little under 2”

Do you have the 2.3L or 2.7L? I’ve got a 2.3L OBX Sasquatch now and I really want to jump up to 37’s but don’t want it to feel too slow

 

[Stu10]

I have the 2.7. Still has plenty of power and feels good driving around the city or on the highway. Definitely lost between 1-1.5 MPG going to 37's on 20's though.

I still want to eventually add a ford performance tune and a cold air intake to get a little power back. I currently have a pedal commander which helps it feel more peppy when driving.
