Hey man. Just curious to chat with you about a few things. I know there’s tons of info out there but it’s so hard to judge because trolls are everywhere and the forums are trash these days. Just scored a 2020 Raptor, beyond stocked about it. But I would like some real life experience on some stuff. Thanks if you have the time to reach out personally.

The Fox 3.0 were awesome, if you do it definitely do new leaf springs that made a big difference with rear end stability. If I had the option of live valve on the 2018 that would’ve been even better.

Truck looks awesome I did the Fox 3.0 install on my '17 Raptor a year and a half ago (w/ Deaver +3HD springs). Like you said, they are a massive upgrade. Tuning can be pretty tricky and there aren't many good videos on that. Seeing the comments below it sounds like you are installing an adjustable UCA. I used Camburg billet on mine with KHC alignment slot delete. No alignment issues after substantial offroading. Assume you are doing the slot delete also? If you aren't planning on it you should reconsider. My only other recommendation is a hydraulic bump stop kit. I was shocked at how often I get into them. Definitely some piece of mind when doing more aggressive terrain.

Thanks appreciate it! They are a massive upgrade, but I'm still learning to tune the front and haven't even touched the rear yet. If you have any tips please feel free to message me on Instagram I'm all ears. Yes I have Icon UCA going on later this week, as well as drop shackles so that I can lower the rear end a bit and take some preload off the front and still sit close to level. I don't have hydraulic bumps yet, but might consider that next.

@raptorsofinsta
3 жыл бұрын
Love the wrap! You can preload the front 3.0s to give a couple more inches, but then you start messing with CV angles. I had my front end raised pretty high and ended up going back down to about 2” over stock so that I don’t break my CV axles when I offroad. Upgraded leaf springs in the rear will also give some added height over stock.

No regrets buying my Fox 3.0 shocks. If you offroad quite a bit, they're definitely worth the upgrade! If you don't offroad much or at all, the best thing I would recommend is switch out your stock leaf springs to a set of Icon Springs. You'll notice a significant difference and smoother ride in the back end of the truck.

Yes, it raised it quite a bit. You can preload the spring and I had it set almost to the max, but I’m going to lower it back down a couple of inches before I ruin my CV axles. Looks great tall but not very functional. My exhaust is the AWE 2FG, I absolutely love it. If you look through my videos I have a few showcasing the exhaust.
