Help!!! Differential Questions: Gears, Lockers, and Diff covers Front and Rear!

Well you see, now if he had the right gearing in that truck he could have made that jump.

MTF and Mjyst3, we need to collaborate on other hidden Raptor secrets...
- Lower gears will make the frame stronger. (MTF)
- If you hang enough lights on your truck (LEDs work better for this) it works better than the scanners at the airport for seeing through your girlfriend's clothing. (Ruger)
- Installation of magic door detents will keep OTHER PEOPLE'S doors from dinging your doors. (Ruger)
- CAIs actually refrigerate intake air and provide the power of a supercharger and the economy of a Prius. (Ruger)
- The factory headlights don't work. At all. Ever. You MUST spend at least $800 to replace them or you will get tickets for driving at night with your headlights off. (Ruger)

You forgot about deploying the rear spooler, giving you unbelievable speed and traction on the AutoBahn.

why get a raptor? Why use e-30? Why run a tuner? Why run exhaust, intake, different tires, etc?

Why not? I never plan on going faster than 120-130 and so i feel like i'm leaving some of the gearing on the table. As for the rest of it. I'm going to already be in the axle housings why not just go ahead and do it while i'm there. And if its only a few bucks more for the arb to be put in now rather than cost a ton more later.

Its really more of a "want" than a "need" same with almost everything about a raptor. I don't need any of it but damn nice to have it and damn glad i can afford it.

There maybe a point in time when i may not have the opportunity to do this so why wait life is short and mods take time.

amen, brotha
