Thanks and I’ll pull up a picture of each model and compare. But we are planning on getting a OEM Raptor bumper. We already have fenders and headlight trim.

But back to the grills,what’s the big difference between OEM and aftermarket?

Correct about the frame,but will be installing all Gen 2 suspension and Camburg Gen 2 coil buckets. Eventually we will find a rear axle to match the front width. Still cheaper and won’t pay the luxury tax or the higher insurance premiums. And still have the 5.0 motor.

Not sure I could get a 2017 SC with 5.0 in the Raptor platform with only $25k invested.

BTW..the peanut gallery is strong in here.

What 2017? Are you suggesting buying a 2017 Raptor?

My son and I are gathering the parts for his 2017 F-150 to Raptor conversion and trying to find a OEM grill to use. I can find aftermarket grills all the time but OEM on the used market are rare or high dollar. Does anyone have first hand experience with aftermarket grills and worth the...

Put me next in line if the original poster isn’t interested. Thanks

X-2…son and I are doing the Raptor swap to his 2017 F-150 and have most of the front handled..looking for some Deavers to match the front. Thanks FRF.com

Very nice to meet you Shawn,and thanks again! BTW..great looking Raptor!

Thanks for following up! Any and all info is extremely helpful!

Nice job! Any tricks that you would mind sharing? My son and I are in the beginning stages of gather the parts to swap hi 2017 F-150 to a Gen 2 Raptor. Thanks for any tips!

Thanks routt73 for the suspension parts,fenders and Camburg coil buckets. Still need: -hood -grill -headlights -axles -brake lines Thanks FRF for helping us out!

Thanks for super informative reply! Looks like we maybe looking for a set of HD

That would probably be the smarter way,but insurance for a 17 year old boy for a Raptor would be outrageous..plus I believe here in the great state of California the Raptor is considered a “Luxury” vehicle which adds an added fee. Plus I really wanted for the truck to have the 5.0 motor.

Thanks for the head ups on the longer wheelbase, I should’ve checked that out. I guess we’re going to have to keep it stock or fiberglass.

WTB Gen 2 parts for my son and I 2017 F-150 SCAB STX Raptor conversion. Picking up Gen 2 front and rear shocks from SThenry on here,but still searching for OEM UCA’s & LCA’s and axles as I imagine stock F-150 axles are to short. Also front fenders,hood,grill,etc..hoping we can get lucky and...

How well do the Deaver L84+1 spring a work? My son and I are doing a Raptor conversion on his 2017 F-150 STX.. has a retractable bed cover..plans are to possibly tow a boat here and there..but mostly his tools for work.

Kind of a oxymoron..but we’re trying to not spend crazy money…so far the stock suspension pieces haven’t seemed to be difficult to source or priced crazy..trying to decide what to do for front fenders..I like the idea of OEM Raptor but it may end up easier going with fiberglass.

Thanks for the helpful info! Like you mentioned I’ll probably stick to finding stock lower and upper control arms(unless I find a nice set of uppers used) and go with the Gen 2 shocks with corrected upper buckets from Camburg. Thanks again!

No input from the FRF brain-trust about the ADD mid travel front kit?

What’s the consensus of the ADD front mid travel kits? We were planning on going with stock upper and lowers for now. But would like to hear opinions if doing a mid travel kit would be a better direction. Was considering going the route of Deavers for the rear with stock Raptor shocks.

Looks great! I like the ability of the KHC being a bolt in design,but really don’t care for all of the laser cut KHC..probably going to go the route of the Camburg buckets that will need to be welded in.

Thanks jdholder for passing along the shocks! It’s going to a huge step forward for my son and I F-150/Raptor swap!

Yes,that’s the plan.
