The frames weren't being bent by 10 ft jumps, G-ing out and bump stop placement were the cause. Bet I could bend the frame on a 2010-12 model going 30mph, Ford quietly added frame reinforcement 2013+. Funny thing is I upgraded my suspension and gas mileage wasn't affected and it actually rode better on the hwy.

Did you raise it any? Going 30 mph over what kind of terrain?

Why would anyone raise a Raptor, its all about wheel travel and keeping your center of gravity down.

The terrain doesn't matter much, I could do it on a city street. All you need is a nice dip that preloads the hell out of the front and as it comes up out it basically acts like a lever slamming the rear end down hard enough to push the bumpstops into the frame.
