Has anybody run 38", 39" or 40" tires on the Raptor?

I'm assuming their using a funny ruler like most suspension companies do.

Negative , will require more then a normal bolt on kit, the front diff will move and the factory coil buckets will be gone . Motor cage and so on will be part of the kit .

There is a kit coming out that will keep 4wd but be 20"of travel . Not sure if it will fit a 39" tire yet , but I can try and get more info for you

Connor at outlaw just finished a build like that. 39" with 4wd. Most bada$$ looking raptor I've ever seen. That size tire really complements the length of the super crew cab.

Most of the long travel kits will allow you to run 39's. It requires major trimming/fab to the firewall to allow them to clear.

Also, the factory rack will not last long with 39's and 4wd. I would not be surprised if the Black Raptor mentioned earlier doesn't make it through a run without blowing the rack.

Gordon's truck has gone through 2 racks already and running the same kit. It's only running 37's.

It's not worth it unless you plan on spending major money on a custom steering setup or are willing to swap out racks ever run or two.

SVC can elaborate on the details but the geometry is better on a 2wd and allows you to run 39's and still use the factory rack.

Any pictures of this truck?
