Hey Tyler, great video!!! I'm glad that the TRX drives & rides well after you installed the spacers!!! Thanks for sharing another fun video!!! 👍👍🙂

Yup I have found the trx needs a little more lift in the front / preload. It goes down / noise dives too much do to all that weight up front. I bet you are seeing a difference if you drive it hard over bumps. The raptor has less weight and a little more travel so it doesn’t bottom out as much. That’s another thing I do not like about the trx is the front does not have enough travel in stock form. I do not want to lift my trx but more of a leveling kit / a little noise high so it doesn’t bottom out. I like the fact you don’t have to take everything apart to add the preload spacer. Thanks for the video on this.

Upper control arm still changes angle no matter what kit you install and I would change this to so ball joints are at the stock angle. Correct me if I'm wrong. On my truck I have the preload the spacer and upper control arm.
@TylerPotter2 жыл бұрын
Yes the upper and lower arm angle and CV shaft angle will increase with any lift. So far I haven't seen any TRX upper or lower ball joint failures but those upper arms took look nice! Thanks for the view!

He Tyler, regarding the ride height recalibration, can we do it with the Alfa OBD link and program? And to do this procedure do we have to lift the car so the suspension at free load and tiers just touching the ground? Appreciate more details on this ride height recalibration
@TylerPotter9 ай бұрын
That is a good question, I don't have alfa OBD so I'm not sure. But yes one procedure requires you to lift the truck and let the suspension hang and the other requires it to be a ride height.

Great video Tyler. What’s your opinion on the preload spacers vs the new Geiser springs? I’ve been wanting to get the Rogue spacer but been holding out to hear more about the springs.
@TylerPotter2 жыл бұрын
That is a good question. I personally haven't got to ride or drive a TRX or Raptor with replacement front springs so I really can't talk much on a comparison unfortunately. It would be really cool to be able to drive 2 trucks back to back with both options to see the ride difference. Thanks for the view!

Awesome video, been really looking at doing this. Do you know if you get it installed at the dealer is the warranty safe? Also do feel your truck sits perfectly level, or does it still have a small rake? I wouldn’t mind a very small rake, I just definitely don’t want the nose up too high.
@TylerPotter2 жыл бұрын
It really just depends on your truck, I have measured a lot of TRX's and they all seem to sit slightly different. I would measure the front and rear of you truck to determine how much rake you have to know how much of the kit you might need to install. On the warranty side of things, regardless of where it is installed you could possibly still run into warranty issues if you have a dealer that is very anti aftermarket parts. I theory a dealer has to prove that the aftermarket part caused the factory part to fail in order to not warranty it, but it is kind of a grey area. Thanks for the view!

Hey Tyler I’m trying to decide on this or the rough country. I have driven with rough country and installed it on my buddies truck and I have to do modifications to make it perfect was wondering if you could do a walk around or send me photos of your truck sitting level so I can render my decision. I appreciate this video and any help/advise you can give me.
@TylerPotter2 жыл бұрын
Just looked at the Rough Country kit and the thickness of the top mount spacers has me worried with front suspension full droop angles on the ball joints and cv shafts. I think I top spacer on the Rogue off-road kit would be the largest I would want to go with.
