how much different will the standard model '17 F-150s be from the Raptor?

Great pics man, thank you for that

@Chris's FX4 thanks for the pics. This is probably a pre-production Raptor, but I doubt much would be different on the actual production units.

I noticed the bump stop pad design difference in your pics too, and the extra plate welded around the bump stop location of the frame for support and strengthening.

And the typical oxidation on the newer and better Fox shox

Anyhow thanks for sharing.

Notice how the bump stop pad on the rear block on the 2017 Raptor is lower compared than the bump stop pad on the rear block of a gen 1.

Awesome pics! Definitely some differences in there. I was hoping that you could just take off the F-150's front suspension and toss on a bolt on LT kit... but def not the same. Would have to cut off the coil over bucket and replace that at a minimum. As for the rear.... meh... same same type crap. Still dont understand why they use blocks and ****** leaf packs like that! Must LOVE axle wrap. All that stuff would get gutted and replaced on even a mild daily driver/Mid travel build anyhow.

Looks like I might have to reconsider my stance on the ol' 2017 after all.

RPG has some F150s built with their BOLT kit that is 100% bolt on and gets around 15" of travel. I believe it's 5" over per side.
