Is 37 PP worth it?

[Booth9999]

Yes the 37 package will hold value better. It feels a bit slower than my 17 on 35’s, doesn’t corner as well, I’m getting the same milage. I got mine with regular seats.

I liked it when the 37 package was a 2k *option, that wasn't packaged with the seats.

If I was buying new now, I would just get the 35 option and buy take off 37's.
Then down the road get the 3.2 shocks. Just about the same cost.


*edit. 5k option in 23. Bad memory i guess

I have seen a handful of folks do that….

I liked the 37 package at $5k-ish but not at 11$k+ for my very limited off roading. I also don't see the new 37 package trucks at $11k+ holding value any better than the 35s. The 21-23's were rather limited due to low allocations, but now see a bunch of 24/25s out there, many which are being discounted, so they are not hard to get anymore.

I wanted the seats as I thought they fit the sportier nature of a Raptor better (more bolster less couch) and the 37s fill out the wheel wells nicely. Also I plan on doing a fair bit of off road in the truck, so I sprung for the 802a package.

802A all the way! Seats imo are great for this truck but you should sit in both to make your own choice. The better valving control on the 802A with the second actuator is noticeable, also worth considering the shock tuning, frame mount points and related components are upgraded to handle the additional weight of the 37’s so if you plan to add 37’s to an 801 truck don’t expect the same level of control or reliability if you beat on it.

Definitely noticeable for daily driving? I personally think the Raptordrives amazing.

The most noticeable difference daily driving will be on the big pot holes. I live in Colorado and the roads are mostly awful hah. It’s not so much that the rebound actuator makes a difference here but more so the additional side wall of the tire which aids in absorbing the impact.

If you don’t plan on taking the truck on demanding off road trails that will induce tons of high speed articulation then I don’t really think aside from looks and tires you will notice anything from seat of pants. It’s still a raptor after all. They are built to be abused and used no matter the package you pick.

Side note: I do like the modular bumper a lot on the 802a since it’s tucked up higher and has mount points for lights which I recently made a bracket to do so!

Just go with what you like the most and if you want the taller truck with extra cool stuff and can afford it then do it!

I like your lights… who makes them?

Roadshock which is a harbor freight brand hah. Usually I’d only ever use Baja design lights but wanted to see what lights that cost 1/3 would be like. So far they have been pretty impressive. Really good build quality and light output with a nice neutral color output.

I understand the use case of Baja design lights and the 80-90% pavement life of a raptor isn’t it. Still cool to see someone else make a well built light at a good price.
