I built this in hopes of actually using it off-road more than just the occasional trail and hunting road but with a new little guy born I/we just don’t have the time.
Figure I give it a go on here and see if this of interest to anyone as it’s already built and ready to go. My next step was...
41 lbs just from the rotors? How much more did the calipers weigh? That’s a ton of rotating mass from small rotors[emoji15]

I removed my front and rear bumpers for ADD about a year ago and have my stock parts left over. Anyone need replacements I’m located in Green Bay WI all in good condition removed at aprox 10k miles on a 2018 MY.

Very nice! The BFG are undersized and I hate them. I wonder if this would be sufficient for Ridge Grapplers with Icon UCA Fox factory shocks and Rotiform wheels.
Thanks for the info! Need to find a welder:)

I believe you are talking about your lower control arms?
What are you doing exactly?
If lifting the truck with shocks or adding UCA,s bring the LCA, to the most outward setting and drive to your alignment shop.

My truck is sitting the same with the same equipment. I do have the Icon UCA’s as well. I tow at times and when off-road add another 200 lbs to the bed. I might dial in a little more preload in front or go back to setting one on the springs but I really don’t have the time!
Set back to setting...
Almost $300 less and I personally like the mesh design so yes I would. Same struggle I have for my ZLE is the design difference between the two. Be great to see both in person before dropping the coin....perfect world problems right?

No Anderson Composites make their own carbon fiber. They have two processes they use vacuum infused or dry/pre preg and both processes use the autoclave making a light uniform finish.

I completely understand on the fairly non functional cost of the raptor pieces.
You won’t be disappointed with APR!
I had a lot of carbon on my C7 Grandsport and the APR stuff was/is amazing. Rear diffuser, side skirts and spats.
I also tried the C7 carbon side skirts and front diffuser...
Fit, finish, strength, weight, durability and integrity of the materials used. Wet layup as opposed to autoclave carbon is a big difference.
I have used and purchased tons of carbon fiber from many manufactures. Even made my own and repaired the stuff.
What you put on your vehicle is your...
APR and Anderson are going to be the best carbon fiber you can buy the rest are a carbon fiber layer with a fiberglass back layer just like the pictures above.

Didn’t you say it was 43 3/4” on setting two? Now it’s 43 1/2”?
Maybe I’m just comparing mine at option two with 300lbs in the bed compared to your option 1 lol
