I wanna geaux fast
I wanna go as fast as possible
Reduce weight and add power

Slow ass raptors with 20's and mud tires keep get'n passed on the hwy
Then the clowns at work wanna show me videos of an eco-boost outrunning a 5.4L Raptor. THIS is what will happen to this guy, he gonna be an example on youtube REAL soon

Are you really concerned about highway drag racing a raptor?

they must be, i guess some of these guys really think that everyone buys a raptor to do what it was designed to do, Kinda like a lot of people that buys a diesel truck doesnt haul anything, they buy it because it looks good and they can get big power out of it.

Bottom line---you want to run 37's with no fender work---you have problems... I run 37x13.5/18's and before that 37x12.50/18's. Suspension travel with the wheel turned is a HUGE problem...

There is no free lunch here ladies...

A huge Problem????? Ive never had a problem with mine, i rub the inner fender well a little when i turn a hit a bump. Thats not a problem for me since i dont offroad. And if it was all i would have to do is cut some of the inner fender well out. Ive been driving my truck around for almost a year now with no issues

We're not talking about you Body Lift. We're talking stock trucks that want to run 37's with nothing but a perch adjustment. Is it possible? Yes, on a street truck. Is it gonna work offroad? No. Any questions?

I have no idea what a "Street Queen" like yours will do or will not do on the street. Follow me on my ranch and you will be walking home is all I can say..

It is a Very Long Walk to the nearest gas station lol...

Nobody is arguing what it can and cant do on the street Nor am i arguing what it can do offroad or on you ranch, the question on this forum was what did he have to do to make the 37's fit without rubbing. I think i answered that with a 3" body and mid perch it still rubs, i will let you know when i trim the inner fender if it rubs and when i turn and hit a bump. I dont think there is any way your gonna get 14.50's or 15.50's to not rub without new fenders

How about a leveling kit on the front to go with that body lift?

lol. This place reminds me of preschool arguments.

Anyways 37x12.5s are on. glass is getting painted as we speak. ill post pics w/ the new Viper hopefully this week (truck is suppose to be done thursday).

btw - no body lift on my truck. top perch and glass only in front
