Bump Stop Question....

[odn13x]

Ok this is my first post and i have not seen any thing on it yet....Is there a way to install a set of fox bump stops to match the shocks...supplemental question is it nessecarry...would it improve suspension characteristics ...and where could you locate them front and rear with out MAJOR modifications....some fab work is need and I understand...but i dont want to do Major mods.. Mainly I want the bi%$h to "Look" like a race ready trophy truck...but also have some sort of function. I know this is probablly over kill but if some performance gains are to be had than i have an intrest...I have had nothing but fast cars and frankly got tired of getting tickets and having to pay for track time...hence the purchase of the Raptor..dont have to pay to play on dirt. Little long winded i know but any help would be appreciated...thanks

Just do a search using bump stop and you will turn up about six plus threads on it...and welcome!!!

Thank you very much...

Welcome.

If you want it to "look like a race ready trophy truck" you can always spend big money and do that too. (That's also been discussed here). Perhaps you'd want to start with a base model F-150 before you do that

That defeats the whole purpose of owning the raptor....I dont want to do any major changes just add some subtle touches here and there. Being in tx we dont have alot of sand but we do have alot of trails and mx tracks...thats where i drive it the most..Jumping is inevitable...

Just a question...how do bumps make the truck "look" like a trophy truck? You can't even see them unless you get down and look. Get some ADD stuff and do the front end perch with some Deavers in the rear...that will give you the look you need!

deavers are already in the plan, as well as the add front and rear bumpers, really want the bump stop just cuz i can more than anything...Its the subtle things that make each raptor its own...I want people to have to look to see what is different about mine. Other than the standard wheels tires lighting and bumpers...but thanks for all the input..got a set of ballistic bump stops for another project...might do a little mock up over the weekend

I curious to see what happens when you take it in under warranty for shock replacement?
