Brother do yourself a favor and google the negatives to lifting a raptor. Also, look up mid and top perch mod / adjustment. This is NOT the place you would want to have this conversation

Sooo, you just stepped on the biggest land mine here.

Most of the trucks that have modded suspension are looking for more travel, not lift. This lets them run the truck at higher speed through increasingly rough terrain. This is closer to the orignal idea behind the truck. Some of these mods do increase ride height but not much. Biggest tire sizes tend to be 37 or 39 both need fender mods to run hard.

If you just wanted a lifted truck an FX4 migt have been a better choice.

Bottom line though... IT IS YOUR TRUCK!!! Do what you want. Just do not expect much support here.

If you do put on a lift kit, make a buid thread and then post updates as put some miles on it. We can always use more documented knowledge on here.

A little work on the pinch welds, liners and, depending on the tires, you should be ok with stock wheels and stock fenders...will it hold up offroad...depends I guess...otherwise, fenders will be in your future...

Mid perch up front and +2 Deaver leaf kit in the back.
You up a bit and the ride/performance is even better than stock.
Get in touch with Haynes Off Road. He has the set up you want!
