Ever wanted to do the conversion but just never knew which products could help you do it? Well visit our new BLOG and find out how!!!

Convert your 2009 and up Base F150 to the SVT Raptor. Pics and parts listed online!

I have a "base" F-150 if that refers to any and all models except the Raptor. Being a member on the F150forum for nearly 3 years, I have never seen Ready Lifts as a vendor but only other vendors selling Ready Lift parts.

If you really want to reach out to the non-Raptor F150 crowd, this is the wrong forum. I have done all of my Research on "converting" my F150 to raptor suspension but that is it. I will not add body panels or Anzo lighting and will never assume or even think my F-150 is as close to a Raptor.

Suspension is one thing but by offering this as a complete package you have more so taking out all imagination and hardwork needed to track down parts, make phone calls, pay for shipping and do the installs.

I may be out of line or may not be but this post is in Respect to all Raptor owners. Like the post said "The Ford F150 SVT Raptor is considered by many to be one of the premier trucks ever designed."

Agreed! They missed the mark....

See there are knowledgeable consumers out there!

It is great to see that this post is getting a lot of attention and the feedback is appreciated. It is clear that there are a number of opinions ranging all over the spectrum, as to be expected. This release is simply designed to help those that may be looking to get more out of their current F150's and are specifically looking to making it perform more like a Raptor. (Especially if looking to go off-road) And as we all know that the complete workings of a real Raptor are far more complex than an upgraded off-road suspension and accessories, many F150 owners can benefit from these products featured in our build. This forum is place to showcase products and where Ford owners can see what options are available to them if they are looking to make upgrades and modifications like this, and we are proud to offer products such as this new kit and showcase others like those featured in our F150 conversion.

You do not tell the collective members of this forum what this forum is for. This is not a Ford forum. This is not a Ford truck forum. This is a Ford Raptor forum. You have badly miscalculated in your marketing, and badly misunderstood your audience here.

I will not take it easy. That guys has been here for two months and has the arrogance to tell people who've been here for years what this forum is for. That kind of shit must not go unanswered.

Hey Mr. ReadyLIFT Suspension, who the hell do you think you are? Do you actually, you know, have a name? Do you make a habit of telling complete strangers what they can do, what they should do, when you're the newcomer? THIS is what they taught you in Remedial Marketing 101A?

Guys,
It's their vendor forum, I think that's what he meant. Clearly they didn't realize how touchy the subject of converting an F-150 to a Raptor is.

Remember that thousands of non-Raptor owners visit this site on a daily basis. While the usual suspects around here might not find any direct use for these products, you can rest assured that ReadyLIFT's target audience is all around us, lurking in the shadows.

Well, technically this sub-forum is their forum. They posted it in their vendor forum.

Believe it or not, there are actually quite a lot of normal F150 owners that view FRF and that are probably members too. I know I've mentioned this site to a lot of people on the other forums asking about different off-road products and off-road performance in general. Main reason being is that FRF has a lot more off-road knowledge and threads regarding off-road products than most of the other F150 forums. While you guys have countless threads on Fox's, King's, and ICON's on here, the other F150 forums are flooded with threads about Bilstein 5100's. Not every one wants Bilstein's on their normal F150. Especially with the number of them that have been breaking under moderate off-roading.

An F150 can never be converted into a Raptor, the VIN will always be a non Raptor F150. It's like "converting" a Fiero into a Lamborghini.

The fitment of ReadyLift's knockoff is poor. Look at the grille to valance to bumper alignment. It is horrible. Just another poor attempt at creating apple pie from a mound of shit.
