The rear flip kit is now available through Belltech. You can choose 4, 5 or 6 inches of lowering. Shock absorbers are sold separately and work for all three levels

Yeah, have to research into having them made. The stock springs are cheap from Ford. Thinking of just sending a spring house a spring, and saying make it like this, only 4" higher.​

I had them dearced 1.5" it was cheap, $135, money well spent, you can shave down the bump stop or put in the Raptor bump stops.

But my truck is a 4x4, not sure about this applying to a 2x4.

I needed the back lower to load a heavy ebike, these trucks really sit up high.

I do need to verify the shock travel, I did this same thing to my old Raptor, when I contacted Fox about the shocks they said "oh they can run anywhere between 40% and 60% in the travel" meaning you can still maintain the proper valving and bypass functions if your static setting is within that range, the only other concern is bottoming out the shock, it's the bump stops job not the shock to limit upward travel.

You were able to De arch the stock Ranger Springs? I had heard that they couldn't be de arched because their arc was so small? Just want to confirm that you de arched them? That's the route I'll go. If I could do it

Which Raptor bump stops? The over seas Austrailian one or the new US one? or the F series based one?

The F based one, HL3Z-4730-A it's total height is 2.3" you just have to cut off a small locating tab.

  • Arrived at FedEx hub - No scheduled delivery date available at this time.
  • MEMPHIS, TN 38118

just go to Ebay.uk, search for your springs and look for ones that have a shipping cost to you (be logged in) Ones w/o shipping cost won't ship to US.
