    I wasn't thinking, but if your BIL has a 20 he has the fancy new shocks that are computer controlled and automatically adjust damping based on what you're driving on, which is pretty sweet. I bet @rdpoe would love to not have to fiddle with his clickers

    Yup the "live valve" orange body foxes.
    For some reason I thought that he had the "race spec" units, but he does not.
    Still feels good; definitely has me thinking I should stop spending money on my 1st gen. :rofl:

    FYI the current gen Toyota Avalon utilizes the same damper tech...

    Late model BMW's have even more advanced goodies!!

    One of the party tricks the Raptor shocks do that I think is funny is that they will detect when you've jumped the truck and stiffen up the rears for the landing.

    I'm sure the Avalon probably does that too. Nordstrom speed bumps never felt so good!

    This thread blows.

    Much like my blowoff valve, which now vents to atmosphere for big whooosh. I'd love to say I've done fuckall else but really I just installed a shade for my kid's carseat and have been dusting honda civics at redlights.

    It will be a good landing place for pictures of my truck falling in that part of the trailhead at Rush that is slipping into the pond. Seriously the most nervewracking part of that entire stupid park.

    100% yes! It's an immediate rollover chance right there.

    However, according to their FB page, they've fixed it. Built a bridge of sorts and even has guardrail, can't really tell if wide enough to pass another street vehicle. I'm sure it's enough for 2 SxSs though.

    That's great news. I was worried I was going to put my taco in that hole, let alone something with much more girth

    Let's see if me saying 'girth' and 'in that hole' in the same reply gets @presta24 's spidey senses tingling
