You'd be surprised. First you have to consider the constant abuse it takes when racking up as many miles as Gordon has. It often times isn't just one hit that does it.

I bent mine in Death Valley. I was going way to fast on some whoops and came up on a turn and I either had to slow or fly off the road into some brush. I probably chose wrong and slowed. The truck began donkey kicking back and forth so violently it bent an axle shaft. Well when I went to get the new one swapped out they said they had trouble putting it in because the housing was bent. So, 100g hits or not they do bend.

Wow. I didn't know you guys are "abusing" the trucks that hard
Makes me want one that much more i must say.

Ya, it was a learning experience. These trucks can handle a lot but you have to be mindful of their limits. Unfortunately, they aren't trophy trucks.

Wait.....
Before you do. Watch how high you go.
I am no longer 4X4 so I won't destroy the CV knuckles or the shafts.
The later year model trucks have a problem sitting tall up front due to fords dumb idea about the CV design.

I dumped the 4X4 awhile back to combat this, and to get rid of dead weight in my truck. I don't use my Raptor for anything I might get stuck in.
So remember that buddy.

I don't wan't you to pick it up and regret it because it breaks something.

What all did you remove / delete and what did you replace it with to drop the 4 x 4? Need mine, but curiosity is getting to me.
