Gen 1 Raptor to Gen 2 Front Shock Conversion

In this video I show you how to convert the front shocks on your Gen 1 Raptor to Gen 2 shocks using the Krazy House Customs Off Road and Performance shock mounts! One of the best mods you can do to your truck. It does take some work, but if you know how to wrench, and cut and drill metal, you can do it in your garage just like I did. I'm sorry for the long video but, it's a big job and I wanted to be as detailed as possible.
Also, in the video I mention using my stock upper control arm bolts and nuts, if you do this make sure to get new nuts. Honestly, you should just use the hardware KHC sends you!

Awesome video, super helpful, glad you’ve made one for the rear too!

[@atyourservice666]

Awesome video. I’m about to do exactly the same. Although I was thinking of going with a gen 2 gieser spring since they are little longer than a gen 1 and with the compression and sag i think it’ll even out.

[@minutemaintenance7385]

That's why I wanted the spring rate of the two. But I don't think you can go wrong with either. Let me know how it goes!

nice video 👍🏼 any follow up videos in the works? i’m curious to see how the bucket looks from the engine bay side and how it would affect replacing the lower spark plugs.

[@minutemaintenance7385]

Haven't really thought about a follow up. I honestly think changing the passenger side lower plug might be easier now. They were smart enough to put a hole in the bracket so you can get to it.

How’s it ride?

[@minutemaintenance7385]

It is much better. And definitely a noticeable difference when off road too.
