    Lowering the rear

    My rear blocks from Ready Lift arrived today. They come very nicely boxed, and look great. Since its a balmy 70 degrees out tonight, I decided to throw them on the Raptor. It took about an hour, it's a straight forward job. The contact pad on the Ready Lift blocks are a bit narrower than the...

    Replacement Tires which ones.

    I have. I have lived in the mountains, and have made several cross country trips in the winter. I found the Toyo's to be fantastic mud and snow tires. They self clean very well, and the side walls themselves can provide some extra bite in snow/mud. I rotated mine every 5k, and got just over 60k...

    Replacement Tires which ones.

    Toyo's. They are heavy, but long lasting and nearly bullet proof. I got over 120k on two sets, zero flats.

    Mirror Reflector Delete Kit

    No, this just replaces the unlit orange reflector with black plastic parts that match the mirror. I just did mine last week.

    I ordered a set today, so we'll see how they work out. Stay tuned...

    Lowering the rear

    It should not be, it maintains the factory bumpstop positions and the factory leafs remain untouched. They advertise these for leveling F150's, especially those that tow often.

    Lowering the rear

    Some people cannot fit their Raptor into a garage because of the height, others prefer a level look as opposed to the ass-high factory look. There does seem to be a handling improvement as well, due to the lower center of gravity.

    Lowering the rear

    For those interested in lowering the rear of the Raptor, I have found some options. I know some people cannot fit the Raptor in a garage, or just like the look. For whatever reason, it's cool and this info is for you. Options; Deaver or National +1 springs. They work great, they are...

    Took rear block out (pics)

    I know this thread is a bit old, and you probably are not running this set-up any longer, but I have some questions. With the rear blocks out, did the Fox shocks have enough compression to collapse fully? The 2wd F150's use the same axle, shock mounts, and a similar bump stop arrangement...

    37's or 35's?

    Some people like big wheels, some people like asking too many questions.

    More Washington State Snow & Ice!

    I know what you mean, I'd hate to be around if my daughters iPad died!

    X2 on that! No X plan from ANY dealer I've contacted. Congrats on a great deal!

    More Washington State Snow & Ice!

    Congratulations, no power for four days. Wow! I was in Pennsylvania in 96/97, during a "100" year snow storm. Holy shit, I was snowed in for days. What a white hell that was. The right coast can keep that shit. I hope you don't don't see anymore unusual weather up there!

    camber caster bolts will void your warranty

    Do you get out to Cal City often? I've been riding bikes and off roading there for years.

    My first drive and thoughts

    Congrats on the positive dealer experience. If you need the clearance, lowering shackles are great. They are readily available in 3/4"-2" of drop. Total Chaos makes a very durable 3/4" drop shackle, and Bell Tech makes a 1" and 2" drop shackle. Good luck!

    camber caster bolts will void your warranty

    Once it's in the system, it's done. I can see Ford denying the claim. It's an aftermarket part, and a part that was not factory or dealer installed. Ford has no way of knowing the quality of the part or competency of the installer. I'm pretty liberal about aftermarket parts on new vehicles, and...

    Sway bar removal pros and cons

    I'll be taking mine off this weekend and giving it a trial run. I know I'll like it, but any excuse to go "testing"!

    It's very expensive to update the infrastructure of a city and maintain the equipment needed to deal with a 100 year event. It's completely impractical. I'm sure if they wanted to raise taxes to be prepared for such an event, the citizens would howl in protest.

    Whats up with my rear door?

    I looked on that site, I didn't see anything about TSB's. My 2010 drivers side scab doors rattle like crazy, I wonder if the tsb covers that?

    Anyone want to own up to this one

    I live in Ventura County, and that does look like Oxnard. There are lots of Raptors around here, but a black Raptor with hard tonneau cover (bak flip?) might stand out. Is that a 6.2 emblem on the fender?
