[QUOTE="My94GT, post: 16572452, member: 57447"] I understand how shocks work I’ve built more then a few sets when I used to track bikes and it’s not as cut and dry as the housing size all the time. Unless it’s vastly different with truck shocks, with bikes you could manipulate spring rate, valve shims, valve openings, oil weight, oil level. All had different impacts. now if you were comparing a 2.5 fox car a 3.0 fox of the same line of shock I think there would likely be a much more noticeable difference but I wonder how the fox 3.0 can the bilstien 2.5 compare. I will agree however this debate is likely a moot point as I remember when I used to look more into raptors and the guys that actually used and abused them swapped out suspension as the factory stuff did a great job of looking the part but often was still lesser quality. I get it though, to me it’s like a bike that comes with brembo calipers and swapping for mono blocks, way way different functionality and price point to boot. All this debating aside I look forward to seeing how the new raptor does, for the street only buyers it’s likely still the winning ticket just to get better than 12mpg lol [/QUOTE]
