No problem man! I bet they are just special ordered for rcd so they don't have to use a spacer..

i remember these pics was with bilsteins on the 6" setting and a 2" spacer on top, pretty steep (any speed bump and the upper control arm would hit the coil spring when the suspension dropped) since the new bilstein brings the spring "back up" to where it originally was





removed it and went with a 1" spacer from daystar (7" total w/37s)

Thank you for the pics 6"_isnt_enough. I'll most likely go with just the struts.

Considering that the RCX kit drops the differential only 5" and you have the Bilsetins set at 6" with a 2" spacer on top, that last cv angle pic isn't too bad.

Have you adjusted the front coils on your Raptor to the middle perch for some added height? I know a lot of the Raptor guys are doing this.
By the way love the color!

I'm hoping to get Raptorized by next year! I can only imagine the power difference and how much fun it is pushing down on the "go" Eddie!

EDIT:

2nd to last pic, is that the 2" spacer and 37's?

If so, that looks way higher than 7". Me likey!!

Did you ever get your Bilsteins?

If so, got any pics you could share?

Yeah, I got them in and installed them. Much better ride over the stock struts with the big spacer. I'll get the pics up tomorrow when I get off.
