Aftermarket Shocks / Lift Kits Available Yet For Ranger Raptor?

[nappy]

Does Fox or anyone other company have shocks available yet for the new RR? I'd put a 2" lift suspension kit on day one.

I definitely wouldn't swap out the factory Live Valve shocks, they're a big part of what makes the Raptor perform the way it does. @GregFoutz has some collars available for some additional height in the front.

How bad the collars hurt the performance?

Without sending the shocks out to be rebuilt, you will loose a lot of performance from the shocks with a collar lift like the ones mentioned above.

*note* that is info directly from Fox! Not an opinion of mine or a claim from a company trying to sell you something!

Fox did tell me that they are working on a 3.0 live valve kit for the Ranger Raptor that would have adjustable spring perches and allow for 1-2” of lift and be plug and play with the factory live valve system. They said they would hopefully be releasing that next year.

I wish, I waited for a year for the FOX race spec 3.0 LV for my GEN3.
The same information was given to couple of Gen3 owner, up tp date these shocks did not see the light and I ended up going with a set of Gen2 FOX race spec 3.0 LV and I love them.

I hope they really produce the RR shocks.

Maybe check again?
The 3.0 Race LV shocks for the Gen 3 F150 Raptor are out and available.

I'd love to see some proof of this claim. I don't believe Fox has brought that product to the market, unless you're talking about the Gen 2 FRS shocks that can bolt onto the Gen 3.

Looks like website is under maintenance at the moment.
Pretty sure I was just looking at them the other day though.
I’ll check back later when their site is back up and link what I find here.

Does anyone have an experience with the RPG or another brand Collar. I just saw a Raptor R with that lift. he did a 1.5 setting it. Does it impact the performance of the ride? If we increase the height be 1.5 inches, can we put 35's on it?

Yes a collar lift negatively impacts the shock performance as I stated above.
The correct way to do it would be to send your shocks into Fox for a service (roughly $175 per) and have the internal valving reconfigured for the amount of lift you are adding.

This is info directly from the manufacture…

I’ve put RPG and Foutz collars on my Bronco Wildtrak and Bronco Raptor. It’s a bit stiffer but you lose the brake dive that these trucks have stock. I’ve had the 2.25. 2.5, and 3.0 collars. I’ve off-roaded with them and jumped with them as well. Do they impact the shock as fox built them… sure, but 95% of folks will never notice unless you are a very extreme off-roader. Use the smallest spacer that gets you what your looking for.

Would I do it again, yep. Just picked up a RRaptor and am already chatting with Foutz.

Don’t want to argue your points they are valid, but I will say that I contacted Fox about my Bronco sagging in the rear due to my gear and they strait up told me to add a RPG collar to get my height back.

I don't think this is right, latest rumors, Fox is developing a new dual valve shocks for the 24+

Dual valve? So it will work with our live valve?

I was referring these shocks to the Gen 3 F 150 Raptor.
I have no idea or info on Fox developing a dual valve shock for the RR.
But I don’t mind it at all, all the feedback is
positive from Raptor R and 37 owners.
