The coilovers in a dual shock setup are pretty much just there to hold springs. They are valved to provide very little damping. So they don't generate much heat etc.
The front and rear bypass shocks do most of the dampening work.
Appreciate the response
Its pretty easy to broadly disparage "spacers" with hyperbolic statements like "CVs will wear quicker due to increased angle" but the devil's in the details. Will a 1" lift spacer wear less than a 5" lift spacer? Obviously, it will.
There's a reason we specifically...
You need to disconnect the steering shaft. There is a M10 pinch bolt. Undo that and it slides out. Obviously, dont turn the steering wheel when disconnected. Dont worry about marking alignment or anything, the shaft is D shaped so can only go in one way.
Glad to hear you received your strut spacers.
There is a qr code on the box to download the instructions. Includes everything you need to know about the installation process.
Definitely there in the Next Gen Raptor collection, but heres the link too https://goatoffroad.com.au/products/ranger-raptor-2-1-5-front-and-rear-lift-kit
If you see a Raptor that has a 2/1" that looks nose high, it will be because the rear has been sagged due to extra weight/accessories. Its technically impossible for a factory setup with a 2/1" spacer kit to sit nose high.
You can also do 2" front 1.5" rear for more rake if that suits you better.
appreciate the kind words sir!
i agree, its the main reason I put it out. I would have loved this level of info for other vehicles I’ve modified in the past.
Brake lines - No
No breathers on the Raptor suspension
Bump stops are on the shock shaft. So strut spacers have no effect on bump stop engaging at the same point. We detail this extensively in the post
The rear lower side is very sturdy, im yet to have seen that one broken. The bracket its attached to should be a simple part to buy from Ford. I dont thimk our kit would be the right choice here.
That video holds zero relevance to what works on the RR. We absolutely agree that on most platforms, strut spacers arent the best option.
But none of the "problems" they discuss are relevant to the RR and in particular, the RR strut spacers we design and make. We dont lose travel, we...
