This episode we will go over how to install 2019-2020 Ford F-150 Raptor (Gen 2) Live Valve Fox shocks on a 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor (Gen 1). We take a look at the process required for a shock swap from old Gen 1 Raptor Fox shocks to the bigger beefier Gen 2 Live Valve Raptor Fox shocks. We used the Live Valve Delete kit from @Rpgoffroad for the shocks and a Raptor specific limiting strap kit from @OffroadAlliance made by Evil Manufacturing. In order to do this swap you will need your stock springs, bump stops and top hats @rockauto off of your Gen 1 Raptor struts. These will be reused because the Gen 2 Raptor springs are too wide, the top hat bolts on the top are to short and the bump stops are too tall. You will also need to have the shocks refilled with Nitrogen. I filled my shocks to 200PSI which I will probably lower to 175PSI since the ride is stiffer then I would prefer. Make sure that when reinstalling your front cv axles to apply a little bit of Loctite so that the nut doesn't loosen. As with any suspension modification it is important to get your vehicle aligned for better driving and tire wear. Thanks to @DiscountTire for the employment early in our careers and the sweet jacket.
