Default 2017 OEM Raptor Leafs

To those of you that have taken delivery, Would you mind checking the part # on your leaf springs?

how is the ride in rear, btw? A lot of non raptor guys uncluding myself have stiff rear ends tgat hop a bit and i assume ford put a lighter spring on raptor for more travel/smoother offroad ride.

The Fox rear shocks should help the wheel hop much like better shocks (or a rear sway) did on the regular F150s

they didn't help thar much, seems to be the spring rate along with lighter weight truck being more contributor.

are the raptor leafs 2+1?

How is your rear riding?

Comin' from a '15 SCab/'16 SCrew > there's NO comparing to a '17 Raptor.
Totally unique beast when it comes to power/ride/handling > an absolutely phenomenal performance machine.
Rear end doesn't bounce around like a regular F150 > drive a Raptor & prepare to be blown away!
