Whats going on fellas? i just traded in my Silverado for a 2010 f150 Raptor. Best decision ever.
Welcome.
How many miles on it?
Got any mods?
Thinking of any?

You should go mid perch if it isn't already.
And depending on the miles, the shocks may need to be replaced or rebuilt. You should really push the dealer you bought it from to replace the stock shocks. Fox recommends them to be rebuilt ever 50k with normal street use.

Check out Raptors of the Carolinas on Facebook. And we try to do a few Carolina meet ups a year. We got a few threads on the regional section on here.

Barely logging back on. The shocks were rebuilt and had receipts on about roughly 8k miles on them. and im the second owner. One thing for sure is exhaust setup. Stainless Works seems the pretty common bang for the buck. Possibly swap the stocks for 2013 style rims. I would love to go 20"s with mud tires, but meh, i like the drive of the 17s so ill stick with that. As for the Carolina meetups. ill look into that. that looks fun

Also: i attached a picture of The Raptor and my other current project: 1980 K10 restmod.

The other picture is my old single cab f150 project that i completely regret selling prior to moving here to Durham :( Im not making that same mistake with the Raptor

The 20" arnt all that. Just ask @Chris@FreedomMotorsports. He had a set for a while.


You should try to make the Christmas parade meet up in Oak Island. It's the first Saturday in December.

He Speaks truth^^^ If you want the truck to perform well offroad, the maximum I would go with is 18". 20's are all show little go if you plan to use it for more than a mall crawler. That being said, if you are going to upgrade your entire rim and tire package, send me a message and I can walk you through that process and also provide a complete package that is ready to bolt right on right out of the shipper truck with lug nuts, TPMS and all that.
