Correct, but you could get adjustable shackles.

Yes, this makes sense. In most cases, you will need to trim/modify the inner well in order for 37" tires to fit in the front. I'm not sure if you can get...
No! Mid perch raises the front which levels the truck. If you go to top perch, the front will be higher. If you go to 3.0s you can adjust them, in the front, to go anywhere from stock height to just above top perch.
Now, in the rear, if you buy aftermarket leafsprings, you remove the block...
Yes, you should be fine, running your current tune and the stock air box. On the other hand, you could get a dry CAI it would be less work than the oiled one.
I would try to get him lower, but I'm a cheap bastard. If you can get it at $54k then go for it. The truck looks super clean and low miles. Get a car fax report just in case.
Such a painfully process. The instructions must be for a vehicle with MFT. I have a 2011 w/NAV. I pretty much had to guess at what to do/how to get it uploaded. Even the .xlm file, which verifyes that the upload was sucessful, was hard to find. I don't know why they didn't just make it so...
The directions suck, the first step says to press "AUX". Well damn! There is no fucking "AUX"... No confirmation after"installation complete" and now Ford's site won't let me download their SYNC version checker. **** me!!! I don't have time for this shit.
As long as you're aware of the issues, you should be fine. Clean the shocks regularly and apply a good lubricant/film protection often. That should help with cosmetic end of it.
There are two issues I have had with my stock 2.5s. The first is corrosion, which is due mostly to the use of road salt here in the Northeast. The second is that the fronts started leaking at 70 k miles, this isn't bad considering that Fox recommends a rebuild every 10k. Overall, the factory...
I recently tried to have my front shocks replaced under the ESP (which does cover mcpheson struts) because they both started to leak at 70k. Denied!!! So Ford won't cover them when they corrode or when they fail. Fail!!! I was told that if they "broke", then they would be covered.
I ran a 5 star tune for a while. I had one issue with the truck throwing codes in off-road mode while stepping on the throttle. But, the main reason I went back to stock was the fact that the tune shut off the Oxygen sensor. This meant that I would have to go back to stock and drive 100 miles...
The air box draws air from the front section of the fender. The rear section is were the heat, from the engine, is extracted. The styrofoam seperates these two sections.
In my case, it's about $300 to rebuild them. But, the road salt has done a number on them. I just bought some stock 2.5s for $800. I hope to keep these for a while. Fox recommends to have them rebuilt every 10k.:crazy:
Mine started leaking at 70k. Ford denied the warranty claim. They are now my spares. I never had them rebuilt because the road salt up here did a number on them. My new (to me) ones were given an additional clear coat and I plan to spray them regularly with anti-corrosion lubricant.
Rory's...
Does your lift include lift blocks between the leaf springs and the axel? The main way guy's reduce axel hop on the Raptor is to get +2" or +3" springs and eliminate the stock lift block/bump stop. Most aftermarket Raptor leafsprings come with a bump stop plate.
