SDI E-Clik Ordering guide for the Raptor (gen1, gen2, gen3)

diiiiick. i just installed eibach on the front of my 2019 and icons in the rear

We had a similar failure this year out west with a RPG adjustable collar set to second from max ring on a Gen 2 Super Cab (stock springs) where the shock also pulled out of the top hat. Failure wasn't as catastrophic however as shown in the video. The shock stayed in the hat luckly and was just moving around in it. This is after 65k miles on the truck, probably 1/4 of that hard off road miles...

Great video, like always very informative.

Another great video!
Love the sdi video comparison series you did. I upgraded to nonlive valve 3.0 last year on my 18; but the Eclik system is looking very tempting

Looking at putting gen2 shocks on a gen 1 with bucket conversion. Would you still recommend stock gen 2 springs with sdi top hat? How do you think the gen2 spring would do handling the added weight of the 6.2l?

Just ordered the Top Hat for my R! Thanks for the info, I purchased the Geiser spring but didn’t feel good about installing them. Very happy I came across this video!

If only I could get one of these garbage ford dealerships to warranty my known shock clunking issue…

Great content. I love the level of detail that you provide and the helpful hints to avoid going down the wrong route. For me...I have a 2019 Raptor with King 3.0's front and back, Deaver +3HD (carry two spare tires and jack in the back), SVC UCA's, and bump stops in the rear. My truck originally had the stock live valved that worked decently. Thought about SDI upgrade on the factory live valves...but upgraded to factory race series shocks and the truck ran like garbage. I was able to return those shocks and went to the Kings. Took my truck out to Barstow and King (for free) re-valved my shocks and tuned them specifically for my truck and riding style. The shocks perform amazingly off road through whoops and jumps and pretty good on road. It's strange to go backwards on technology but I couldn't be happier with my results.

Im a firm believer that a vehicle should be property strapped. The shocks shouldn't be holding the weight of the suspension it should be a quality limit strap. Overtime the shocks are going to separate from use.

However the springs are expediting the failure.

Do they have this for the Gen 1 raptors?

A video comparing the system with and without the re-valving from SDI would be awesome man and help people decide with direction to go.

Thank you sir. Great video.

Would be cool if they could program the VDM with its own tunes for each suspension mode. Regardless the system they have come up with is really cool.

Amen to that comment about bad advice out there. The FB groups are the worst. I wish I had a reputable shop in my area to modify my gen1 buckets to run a live valve setup. I don't have enough confidence or tools to weld in a new bucket. Ended up looking at Fox 3.0 DSC / QAB for my truck.

Helio, what setup do you think Is best “bang for your buck” for a gen1?
I live in the north east so not much baja to do but definitely want something capable.

A friend recommended deavers and new stock shocks but I really want to know your take.
Love your content!
Thanks man.

Can E click make my 2020 softer? It sounds like it can’t all it can do is add stiffness.

I have been watching your videos for a long time and I feel it is an injustice to not stop and thank you for all the good content, helpful information and just great entertainment! Thanks for what you do! Keep it up!

My 2019 Gen 2 has 98,000 and it is completely stock. I have never rebuilt shocks. I am looking to keep a good ride on the rode with some off-road benefits and more control over the system as a whole. This is what I'm considering from SDI: E-Click System, Bucket Assembly & Revalve. While maintaining stock front springs and possibly new stock springs or LD dealers for the rear because mine are practically upside down and hop over even the smallest bump in the road now.

My Gen 3 build goal was to increase offroad, onroad, & tow capabilities. So I am running the bucket up front and the Geisers in the rear with E-click on stock shocks. I always have my jack and Powertank and some other stuff in the back. I tend to offroad with a lot of weight and I also tow a trailer so the rear springs work well. I run the rear soft without adding load to make up for it. I can't believe how well it performs in all situations and everyone who rides with me are amazed! It sits 1/4 higher in the rear now that it is broken in. Thanks for the information that helped me make my decisions! Cheers!!

So you made a comment about the truck needing balance, I currently have FRS 3.0's in the front and in the rear I have stock suspension with Geiser springs. The truck is a little too raked currently, on top of your point you made me realize about the suspension needing to work together with the computer. I'm wondering what I should do. Just install FRS 3.0's in the rear? Go back to stock rear springs with other modifications? Do I also need the SDI tophat in the front?

I think an obvious answer is to pick-up rear 3.0's, but else? Will this setup be ok with all around FRS 3.0's and rear Geisers? Whats best?

I have a 2017 more on road and doing some occasional off road. Currently have a collar to level the truck. Will i benefit if go with a sdi top hat and go e click? Cush ride is what i'm after for on road and keep the truck capable for off road

Are you team 35 package or OEM 37 package?
