37's are on

[Boss Hoss]

Hey some people build a truck for all show and no go. Not that this truck is completely "all show" but it is his truck and if he wanted to put 24's on it and it is what he wants then by all means. To put a lift on a Raptor is kind of a waste imho and defeats the reason to have one but then again my GT500 has never seen and never will see a track day while I own it..

Looks nice, a little to big for my taste but definately sharp looking, good job on the tiny also. What bumper is that?

 

[KaiserM715]

does this look bad? Does the bumpers line up?

Based on this pic, if you relocated the bumper, you will have a gap in between the front skid plate and the bottom of the bumper and the front tow hooks will no longer be in the bumper cutouts.

I have a Wicked Bumper. But if you read the whole tread in the other forum you will read that the other truck they moved the hooks up, SEE

Sounds like the other forum you speak of digs body lifts and big rims, thanks for sharing....

 

[BigScott]

there is a big write-up on the other raptor forum titled "SCREW with a body lift"

If this is where he chooses to get his info...... well then let him

Sorry your not going to get many, if any votes of "go for it bro" on a body lift over here. Most Raptor owners here do it the "southwest way" with suspension not body lift blocks. There is more of a off road racing way of doing things here.
But it's your truck, you pay for it, Do it how you want and be proud of it.

well i don't think i asked for your approval??? Not trying to sound rude by any means but this is a site for info and not downing someone's decision to do what they want to their truck! If you don't like it then don't do it!! Your opinion is not needed

 

[Maxx2893]

Umm you do realize your on a public forum posting a thread to get opinions. Forums are for 3 things information, bs'ing, and opinions, and you didn't provide the first 2.

So....why did you post pictures of your truck again? Usually that means you would like opinions on it. You even acknowledged that there would be haters and that you didn't care. You haven't even had anyone come right out and say "your truck is stupid and I hate it". It's just been recommendations to stay away from body lifts.

If you're going to do something that goes against the grain of traditional wisdom on a site, be prepared to be questioned on it. It's the internet and that's how it works.

I still want to know why you're going body lift VS top perch on the front? The perch mod would be a lot cheaper and easier to accomplish and then 37's would fit fine for the street, and for dirt all you'd need to do is hammer or cut down the pinch welds in the front fenders most likely.

I think with his offset the fenders wouldn't last long off road..lol
