Installing mid perch collar on Ford Raptors from 2017-19. This is a basic install on how I did mine. All the collars in the title above work similar to the one I have in the video.
Disclaimer: when working with spring compressors like the one in the video installing is very dangerous as the strut is under extreme pressure.

thanks for this. Why did you mark the assembly before disassembling? could you not just put it back on?

@JJBanuelos 4 года назад

To make sure everything lines up after the disassemble. That way you don’t run into any alignment issues with the upper strut mount.

So what did you do about torquing the bottom shock bolt back to over 400lbft? I just had this issue with the steering rack bolts. I could only get them to 200lbs. May order the dewalt driver that has 3 different settings because I’m changing to Fox 3.0s next and will run right back to that issue.

@JJBanuelos 5 лет назад

alford35 just used the Milwaukee impact to tighten the bolt & had no issue of any with it being loose. Honestly I don’t think it’s even that tight from the manufacturer. 200ft lbs should be fine. I don’t think you will have any issues.

So there are a bunch of videos out there with installs of F-150 suspension mods from Stage 3, CJ Parts, American Trucks, etc. I have to say that this is the best video I have seen out of all of them. I have a F-150 (non Raptor) and I have installed Camburg Billet Upper control arms as well as Fox coil-overs and this is the first video that actually shows REAL person without any fancy editing doing an install. Seriously, I wish more people would do videos like this where they just set up a camera and let it run while they wrench on their rigs. Great job!

@JJBanuelos 5 лет назад

Appreciate all the love support & I agree with you 100%! I’m all about showing you guys how it’s actually done in the real world.

Those springs aren't no joke.💣💥 Lol. Great tutorial. Looking forward to the next one.

@JJBanuelos 5 лет назад

Thanks!

@neudimensions1320 5 лет назад

Did you measure the before height? I only have about an inch difference not sure what setting to go for. Also did you get an alignment afterwards? Thanks for the video.

@JJBanuelos 5 лет назад

Yeah I was also about an inch difference front to rear. I went with the 1.75” setting & now I’m about level. Did do an alignment as you prob should anything you mess with your suspension. My toe & total toe setting last were slightly off. Thanks for watching. Also please make sure to hit that subscribe button for me!

@@JJBanuelos Thanks, also looking into getting some RRW wheels possible some of the best looking wheels for the Raptor IMO.

Great video! do you still have your raptor bumper?

@JJBanuelos 4 года назад

Thanks. No don’t have the truck anymore

The sideways jack stand creeps me out

@IsrraelSuarez-t3x Год назад

What rims do you have and what's the size

@gustavogarcia7009 2 года назад

I think it’s more tension on the spring an make more hard

@Captainhairyass 2 года назад

Worst ride quality ever. Hit a bump and feel like you're about to lose control

@DeionHarris Год назад

thats your shocks out of control

@salt7379 5 лет назад

Not sure if I missed it but what was the heights before you installed it?

@JJBanuelos 5 лет назад

Front was at 39.5” & with the 1 3/4 adj put me at 41 1/4 & the rest sitting at 41 3/4. Have about 15k miles when I did install so plenty of time for suspension to settle for correct height.

@salt7379 5 лет назад

@@JJBanuelos my rear sits about 43 and my fronts are 39 3/4 so if i go with a 3" lift i should be almost even

@JJBanuelos 5 лет назад

Correct you’ll definitely be about even. The ride will definitely be a lot stiffer than what it is now if you decide to go with a 3in lift.

@mentorpocholoarado8031 4 года назад

You are not taking care of the workpiece. You should have put something on the pavement to protect it.

@JJBanuelos 4 года назад

Should have but when your in the moment you just want to get it over with. Thanks for watching

@GLSStan 4 года назад

Great Video thank you man. Going to use this to install my Eibach Springs. So i noticed you did not TQ anything. No issues there after ? Also was your alignment way off after the install. Thanks

@JJBanuelos 4 года назад

Had truck checked out at alignment shop shortly after. They had to just adjust toe a little bit not much. Never had any issues at all. Would have gone with springs if they were available at the time for sure! Thanks for watching & the support!

@jso567 5 лет назад

interested in selling your old raptor bumper?

@rkwjunior2298 4 года назад

Those Spring tools were screaming, scary shit. I went to top perch on my Gen1 Raptor to fit 37's, the ride quality was awful. If i did this, id go with the Geiser Springs

@JJBanuelos 4 года назад

Rick Walbridge yeah anytime I use these damn spring tools they’re sketchy. Ride was a little stiffer. Definitely would have gone with géiser springs back then if they’re we’re out but weren’t offered at that time. Thanks for watching please make sure to subscribe!

@luisrosas300 4 года назад

@@JJBanuelos Just to clarify the GEISER spring are going to make the ride even stiffer and i would not lift my tuck more than 2 inches you are going to wear your componets faster plus in my opinion the nose sits much higher than the rear and the tire its going to look small.

@JJBanuelos 4 года назад

luis rosas yes the Geiser springs are nice but In my own opinion I’d go with the Eibach springs. If you were to go that route. The 1.75” lift was just the right look on mine it did make the suspension a little stiffer but not much. Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to subscribe!
