Any problem (like the relay if the power isn't disconnected before hammering on the suspension), and the whole rack needs replacement.

But doesn't the 5.0 uses the identical EPAS system as the 3.5L? Same issues would need to be resolved...

Yes they do use the same EPAS as does the 3.7 I believe. I only think the Raptor would get the 5.0 before the EB, simply just because I think thats more of a market that would want a V8, but thats entirely a guess and opinion.

Me I would want the 6.2. If you can afford a raptor you can afford the gas. I know it's my next truck. Just have to wait for my 2010 to be old enough to get ride of.

If it isn't an illusion (front being higher), it isn't because of a 'lighter' ecoboost. All said and done the Eco is less than 50lbs lighter than the 6.2, hardly enough to effect spring compression (or lack of).
