2017 802A suspension

Hi there I’m new here. I just picked up 2017 802a raptor. The previous owner said he added a 5.5 inch ready lift kit (which I can’t find any info for). Eibach springs in the front and Firestone airbags in the back. My question is can any of you tell me if my frame has been cut or can I go back to stock ? Also I’m having a problem with the truck pulling very hard to the left in 4wd no matter the speed. 2wd it stays perfect. Any ideas would help thanks. As for the lift kit can any tell what kind it is ? My control arms top and bottom still say Ford. Also my bottom of caliber bracket seems to be hitting my control arm bottom they are shiny in those spots any idea why ?

It's really hard to see the lift in those pictures, but holy moly the angle on the axles is concerning. Those marks on the "turn stops" are normal in most instances. Do you have any further away pics of the lower control arm brackets and the top of the shock buckets? You probably have a torsion front diff, so that does pull a bit in 4x4 mode, others have experienced that condition.

Frame cut look like the ones in this video.

Readylift are usually spacer lifts from what I remember. So if the previous owner for some reason did both eibachs and spacers, you'd see the spacer puck on top of the coil on either side of the top plate or possibly just the top. The rear end will have an even bigger block (stock raptors have a 2" block from the factory) under the leaf springs. It may have a piece sticking out the side towards the center of the truck that acts as an elevated strike point for the bump stop.

Doesnt look like there is a front dif drop bracket. Based on the horrible geometry, i would say it hasn't been cut. The rubbing on the lower control arm is pretty normal for a "leveled" truck. With the geometry off, Your knuckle is hitting the lower control arm steering stop at a angle. That is the least of your worries.

Ok thanks but this crazy pull like 1/4 gas and I’m way in other lane even hanging on tight. For a safety it needed a front boot changed out on drivers side the side it pulls too

Does the driver side boot seem bad to you guys ? Looks like it’s moved and full of oil ?

Looks like eibachs and a spacer on top. Looks like alignment cams installed too.

That CV looks toast to me. Im sure the other side isnt far from being shot either. Those angles are going to kill them.

Ok so what can be done to bring the height down so no stress on axels etc ? Does it look like it has not been cut bad enough to go back to stock or 2 inches ? I still need it to clear my 37’s as I have no stock tires or rims

Ok thanks would that cause it to pull very hard to driver side in 4wd?
