Exactly! I have an 3.5 Eco in my F150, on forums and FB guys are always asking about what exhaust. I have listened to a lot of combos and it all sounds like trash. Eco’s have great power, but all sound like garbage.
That's what she said..... ;-)
So.....
...the Adjustable Live Shocks which can be set stiffer to handle more tongue weight can't be a factor in improving the Tow Rating???? Ooooookkkkkkkk......... 
Shocks do not carry the load. Springs carry the load. Shocks dampen the action of the springs. Go back to your suspension 101 class. If the Fox shocks are similar to what is on the F150 Raptor they are not user adjustable. They are computer controlled.So.....
Time will tell.
Seeing that they use the same side view mirrors the Raptor is a full mirror width higher. That looks tp be in the 5"-6" range.I leveled out the side by side photo and highlighted the tire touch points so you can get a better idea of just how much taller it is than the OBX.
The Bronco doesn't have leaf springs like the F150 Raptor, but uses basically Coil Overs, so the shocks are a part of the Load Carrying equation.
Shocks do not carry the load. Period. The 2021 Raptor (F150) is now on coils springs. "Selecting the tow mode" would only stiffen the dampening. Stiffening the dampening does not increase the tow rating or weight bearing of the suspension. Now if you added air bags, you could increase the towing capability.
OBX has 33in or 35in tires here?I leveled out the side by side photo and highlighted the tire touch points so you can get a better idea of just how much taller it is than the OBX.
That honestly looks like 33" with the Raptor on 37" which really explains the drastic height difference imo.
yeah that was my real question. If this OBX has 33's I rather see a Sasquatch Bronco next to this Raptor for a better sense of the height difference.
I completely agree. I know it's marketing but a lot of the photos of the Raptor compared to the normal Bronco size seems disingenuous.
Unless it is an air shock there is no way to make a metal coil spring tighter unless you have some active preload. Most coiler overs have dual springs and collars you can adjust but once it is set that is it. I do not think the Raptor has the ability to adjust. As the other person stated tightening the shock will only affect damping not load bearing. You either have good offroading or good towing without some sort of air system added in. It is not just spring load either. The lower load rated tires are also lighter but squat better over rocks. Heavy duty rear sway bar as well is needed. The Bronco does not even have one to help rear flex.
