Have you considered a Zr2? They are wider than a normal colorado, but should be narrower than an F150, I would think.

Have you (meaning all of you talking about the width of a Raptor vs X, Y and Z) considered a new thread of your own? This one has been a nice discussion of GP1152's removable towing setup. The chatter from you guys...not so much.

WDH is a must. Definitely recommend that. I’ve had a few others and to me so far the blue ox is my favorite. Perhaps take a look at that as well.

I'm definitely going to be having a WDH to tow the trailer. It's about 7500lbs loaded with the side by side in the back. I chose to go above and beyond the WDH and get the SuperSumos to assist. Roads have a lot of frost heaves up here and figured they would assist.

Any updates on this? I really need this setup for this summer. We go to the dunes and then unhook trailer to go play with the raptor there. 3 1/2 hour drive at 8000lbs. with probably a 850 tw. I know with this setup you could probably do a 1000 lbs. tw. Im also going with 3+ Daevers plus 1" shackle, but worried they will actually be softer than stock.

I spoke with Izzy today and he says that they're still interested in doing the kit, but they've been slammed getting a few projects out. It sounds like they're a small shop just getting started, so it's perfectly understandable. But he told me that there's been a lot of interest and that it's something that they need to put back on the front burner. I'd suggest that if you're interested and haven't called or messaged them about it, that you do so to make sure that they know how many willing buyers there are. And maybe if you contacted them a while back, send them a quick note to remind them.

Here's their contact info -

Sorry guys. If you're interested I'd say to go ahead and reach out to izzy. Looks like some already have (see post just above this) so my recommendation would be to get in touch with him so he sees the actual demand from people willing to get this done as opposed to who is just a tire-kicker.

I just came back from Death Valley and I can honestly say that being able to get to camp and remove the shocks (and get it right back to stock) is by far the best mod I could ever do to my truck. STILL couldn't be happier with it.
