Hello all - My name is Bryce and I just joined the forum on recommendation of Jason, Big J. Jason and I have had email conversations regarding a product called the T-Lift which is an accessory for a high-lift jack that helps you lift your Ford Truck safely when you need to change a tire or lift your truck when you have become high centered. My father-in-law invented the T-Lift a few years back when he had a bad experience changing a flat tire while off-road. I am posting to the Forum in hope that we can modify the T-Lift to fit the Raptor. Visit our site at www.tliftonline.com to see how the product works.
The T-Lift predominantly works with Ford F-250 and 350's as both the rear receiver hitch and front tow ring production have been compatible and pretty consistent since 1998. Historically, the F-150's "imbedded" the front tow rings in the bumper which made it difficult to use our product without modifying your front bumper.
The Raptor appears to have tow rings in both the front and back bumper, thus potentially making the T-Lift viable. I have visited a few Ford dealerships on the West Coast and cannot seem to find a dealer with a Raptor on the lot for me to take measurements. If you look at our product via our website, you will notice the T-Lift has a removable lifting jaw and a “T” cross bar. The jaw is typically used to lift the front of the vehicle (tow rings) and the “T” is typically placed in the side of the hitch assembly to raise the rear.
As I mentioned earlier, I would like to see if we can modify the T-Lift to fit the Raptor. If there are any Forum members interested in taking close up pictures of the tow rings (front and back) that would be helpful. In addition measuring width and height (thickness) of the rings will be extremely helpful. The rings need to partially stick out so the lifting jaw can be inserted and sectured. The thickness (height) of the tow ring is important as the lifting jaw rests against the tow ring and the pin from the T-Lift when you apply pressure with a High-Lift jack. If anyone is interested, please post the information. I would like to be able to offer a solution for Raptor enthusiasts.
Thanks - Bryce
