The Raptor does very well in the snow!
I'd say you should go for the screw. I have a scab, I love the looks, but what a pita getting my daughter in and out of her carseat when someone parks next to me!
If you are still running the stock blocks, I can't see how they would interfere with the stage 2. They operate in the same way as the stock blocks, they are just a bit shorter. You do lose a bit of static up travel, but I have not had any troubles. I'm sure RPG can advise you on the viability...
The Ready Lift block is a great product for leveling the Raptor. I have about 18 thousand miles on my truck since the Ready Lift blocks were installed. I've towed, hauled, off roaded, and jumped the Raptor and have had zero problems with them.
I think they suck and you should pass that deal on to me!
In all seriousness though, I'd be interested in hearing some feedback from those running Kings as well.
Most definitely! If you have to scrub some speed before a jump, do it early enough so you can get back on the gas and carry the front of the truck off the jump. It's all about weight transfer.
Great job on going big for the win!
If you are running solid body mounts, yes you would have more nhv transmitted to the cab. However, unless you are caged and tied into the frame, you do not need solid mounts. The 1" aluminum pucks we used are stacked on the stock body bushings, so the stock body isolation is retained.
I started a thread about tire Clearance at full compression here;

In rock crawling, we frequently ran 1" body lifts for an extra bit of clearance. These were often high quality aluminum pucks, not the typical injection molded stuff.
Anyhow...
I can't really add anything about a tuner, but my stock 2010 6.2 got 15.3 (hand calculated) over a 5600 mile road trip recently. Most highway runs were at 75/80mph.
I was running super (91/93 octane) the entire trip.
Pro; Smoother ride off road, somewhat smoother ride on road.
Con; more body lean in the corners, truck may sit lower one one side or the other depending on the weight of the driver/passenger, in emergency maneuvers the truck may not react fast enough.
That said, I've been driving lifted rock...
As the sway bar is bushing mounted, and the metal bushing support material
Is pretty thin, I can't see the swaybar itself offering any frame strengthening support.
I have a set of four 2010 Ford Raptor wheels available. No scratches, great shape. Includes lugs, but no TPMS.

I had a place in Stallion Springs for a while, and now spend my time in the city where my gf lives. Ive spent a lot of time in Cal City too, I have a little place there that I ride from.
I used to be with Conejo Off Road, we raced a class 3 Jeep, a 7 4X4 Ranger (the former swift truck), and a...
That's about where I saw the white Raptor. You are way up there on the mountain! I looked at a house on Jacaranda years ago, but I figured the gas to go up the mountain and the brake wear coming down was too much for me at the time. Fantastic views though.
I have a black 2010 scab, it's pretty...
