Sooo I have decided to spend about 8k on the raptor. I currently have whats in my sig and have been contemplating doing a supercharger. I am now thinking i may want to spend that money elsewhere. I know there are a lot of other mods i can also do with the same money. I was thinking getting nav tv, national springs in the rear, light bars, header and maybe exhaust, and maybe some other suspension work. If i don't do the supercharger i would like to keep expenses lower than what i originally planned maybe more like 5-6k now. Ideas?

thanks babe


"Babe?!" Unless you and Kaiser (whose name is Will) have a thing going on or, unless Will's nickname is "Babe," I'm wondering why you called him that.

As for your question, I'll give you some input if you tell me:

* How much off roading do you do (how often, how many miles, etc.)?

* What shortcomings do you have with the Raptor in its present condition?

I think it was a joke.

Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you'd like to do. Personally I'd take care of suspension stuff before the SC.

If you do a good amount of offroading, rear springs, bump stop kit, ICON Stage 2 or comparable will bring you right in under your original budget. Of course you can add or subtract to or from that all day long where the suspension is concerned. Headers and catback bring you in well under budget, even with thermal coating you would still be well under $3K. OR, headers, rear springs and bump stop kit and you are in under your preferred budget leaving the shocks and other possible suspension and or steering upgrades for later on. Let me know if you would like a quote prepared on the cost of your choice of upgrades.

This what I would do.

1. Stage 4 RPG suspension set up
2. New Front fenders
3. 37'' Tires
4. I would throw the rest of the cash, if any on lights.
5. Drive the shit out of it!!!
