Will outperform for sure!!! I Jerry rigged some 2.5 king race series c/o's on my raptor setup for awhile wasn't ideal for the travel but the ride was way better all around......I hate the factory series am raptor ***** for the price u pay.

I was assuming your wheels will now be tucking the fenders at bump....I would mod oem besides myself......what are your plans?

I had a bagged o4 Chevy about 10 years ago and pan hard bar was wayyyy more than a minimal amount..... But I've heard his bar is really long and that should help

Seeing about 1" of lateral shift from ride height to bump, and about 1.5" from ride height to full droop.

Looks like a nice kit. Eager to hear your feedback once completed.

Let me know if you want the thread retitled to encompass the entire build and not just the brenthel frontend.

No worries, I'll do a seperate install / review thread soon.

It's looking like a guy could run the stock bedsides if you knocked the pinch seam down and bumped it at the factory/typical leaf location.
But you're likely still going to get a little rubbing on the inner wheel wells due to the high amount of articulation the axle is now capable of.
I want to gain that extra bump travel, so I'm going to throw some glass bedsides on it and cut the inner fender well out. It's about 2.5 to 3" difference.
I'm running 37" bfg at's.
