Yeah, stop complaining about it, even the raptor is not a 100% desert offroad truck, it has a mix of 4x4 offroad on mid, desert and street. The ram runner beats the raptor on the desert on the woops amd is higher than the raptor too. So stop complaining about that lift kit, here where i live i dont have a big desert so i have to use the raptor on the mud, so that fabtech lift kit will be great for the raptor for slow offroad muddy terrain.
Will you be mad if someone install a 22" rims to nis raptor?
Will you be mad if someone doesnt not mid perch his ford raptor?

So not all raptors owner use his truck as a desert offroad truck, some guys buy it for looks some guys buy it for mud and some for the desert.

^Ram runner isn't even a competitor, it costs 10 grand more and isnt a factory truck. Throw 10 grand into a Raptor and it beats out the Ram runner. So Apples to oranges comparison.

that lift wont be good for anything but show.

no "suspension lift" for IFS trucks are good. all it is is a drop bracket. big deal. does nothing to benefit aside from more ground clearance in the middle of the truck. which doesnt mean jack shit if your mud boggin, cause that huge drop bracket is just a giant wall and will stop a truck dead in deep mud.

not to mention it looks silly.

if you like rock crawling and mud boggin and want a lift kit, you bought the wrong truck.

im not saying raptors cant go through mud or over rocks, cause they can. but if the terrain you ride on require a lift kit, yeah, wrong truck.

personally, id go SAS before i went drop bracket lift kit on an IFS truck. hell, id go body lift before i went drop bracket lift kit.

just my $0.05

Is focused in one thing beside raptor that is good in different terrains not only baja run.
So people use the raptor as a street truck just for looks as a 4x4 on mud and trails and as a desert.
So leave this lift kit for the guys who likes street truck something like that, btw i dont like the stock stand of the raptor seems to marrow so in my taste is better a -6 to -12 offset. People has different taste for the truck.
Some people dont like the airbags for the truck, but some people do like it.

Henessey performance focus his velociraptor more for the street, they even touch the suspension just the engine.
Why to pay 25k on a 600hp raptor, when you can spent all that in suspension.

Yeah, to be kind (I'm trying), not exactly. No offense but your post is a FAIL.

If you had $0.05 for every IFS truck that had a suspension lift you'd be able to afford a Raptor.

And lift kits add clearance underneath the whole truck not just in the middle.

No one except you said anything about "mud bogging" The poster said he wants to use his Raptor in the mud, in "muddy terrain."

And since you said it, "if the terrain you ride on require a lift kit, yeah, wrong truck." Really? Why can't the Raptor have a suspension lift when a Ford F-150 can and most all other pickups can? Is it because you say so?

You did say, "personally, id go SAS (Solid Axle Suspension) before i went drop bracket lift kit on an IFS truck. Hell, id go body lift before i went drop bracket lift kit." This is pure genius on your part. You're busy spending Raptor people's money on throwing out their IFS and replacing it with a solid front axle which would cost a ton of money and, for what purpose? Mud bogging that no one is talking about but you? And suggesting a body lift - what, a 4" body lift instead of a 4" suspension lift? Seriously?

OK, so you think a pickup truck with a suspension lift, "looks silly." OK. That's the only thing you said that's an opinion and that's the only thing you said that isn't incorrect.

no, a lift kit for a raptor is a fail.

its a raptor. its built for a pretty specific purpose. if you're going to spend the money on a raptor, why ruin it with a cheap drop bracket kit.

it will be slower offroad, will not go over any larger obstacles than a stock raptor, and it will just look wrong.

is there more ground clearance and better approach departure angles? sure. but that front diff is just as low as stock. you wont drag it over anything larger than a stock one will.

if you want a lifted f150, get a f150 and lift it.




but wait, sorry. I dont own a raptor so obviously i dont know that lift kits are what the cool kids all want.



be right back, gotta go tell robby gordon he needs a lift kit so he can fit bigger tires and look cool.

Yes, because most of the people here are 100% desert offroad, but in some countries people dont buy it for offroad desert, buy it because of the looks and the options to go off roading on trails amd muddy trails. What about if someone adds a snorkel with a lift kit? It his problem not yours.
If someone buy a raptor because the raptor is a ***** magnet, which girl would know if the truck has icons 3.0 or fox with bump stop and deavers or national.
So dont get mad if someone buy a velociraptor 600 to run the 1/4 miles.
I used to have a 2003 svt lightning that i used to run 1/4 miles so that was my taste.
Why dont you call the fabtech guys and complain with them instead. You the one who knows
Or call the guys from fuel wheels and complain that raptor are meant to use 17" wheels not 20" wheels.

there isnt enough time in one day to call everyone who makes junk for the raptor.

people who buy something for the looks or status symbol are posers.

and lol @svtdon agreeing with me, then editing his post after dan shows up to disagree.
