Cant buy it so I'll build it

We've got you covered with an oem replica hood, and fender extensions. Not sure how wide you are looking to go, but we just released +2.5 Fenders and bedsides, which would be about 5" over for an F150.

Thanks! I have been leaning more towards the 4.5 inch bulge fenders and bedsides. I am trying not to have a raptor look a like when it's done. And with my methods and a 6inch wider front track I wont be able to run 37s and enjoy the dunes with the 2.5inch fenders. Unless anyone has different experience??

Nice! Seriously considered doing this myself as well, and even contacted the V8 Raptor folks down near Houston. Decided I wanted the Supercab/short bed combination more than the V8.

Regardless...looks good and good luck!

Thanks I appreciate it!

Does anyone have a preference between deaver and icon for the rear springs?

It’s a lot of work and money to make an F-150 more like a Raptor. I started with a 2018. So far I’ve completed the front and rear fenders and rear Icon Leaf with King bypasses.

What's your plan for your front suspension?

Raptor LCAs with Camburg UCAs. Not sure on the shocks yet. Either Gen 1 Kings or 8” stroke 2.5 Kings.

Are you going to be using gen 1 axles and tie rods as well? And why the camburg vs others like svc and baja kits?

I plan to eventually get a used gen 2 rear axle and also front as well. I have been talking with jt at baja kits for the past few months asking every question imaginable. I will mostly likely do the OEM raptor components first and upgrade as needed. It's actually cheaper to do that then drop over 6k in their kit

I may have a rear axle for ya shortly. I have absolutely no clue what a used rear raptor axle goes for though.

camburg arms are pretty solid, cheap by comparison too. ( the welded bushing option at least. )

Short but sweet update to the build. Here is how the truck sits currently. It’s for the most part done. And I have been beating the crap out of it off road and it’s been a blast. Get a lot of odd looks when I fire it up that’s for sure. Doesn’t have the torque that the gen 2 has but the V8 growl is music to my ears. Suspension is stock raptor apart from the front having a krazy house customs slot delete, icon billet adjustable upper control arm and geiser springs, the rear has a custom add a leaf, and the icon bump stop kit. Been a lot of fun so far!
