Lift requirements for 37" tires

[NH-Raptor]

I know people have strong feelings on lifting a Raptor, and I appreciate your feedback. However, I'm going to act foolish and lift mine a little. I plan to go with Nitto Ridge Grappler 37"/12.5"/20" tires, coupled with 20" KMC XD Machete wheels. My goal is to lift the vehicle just enough to accommodate these tires, while not rubbing, or requiring any trimming--I'd like to leave things intact.

While the 4" Fab Tech lift kit will accomplish my goal, I don't like the idea of having to use a hacksaw to put it in place.

Do folks recommend something that will accommodate the tires, but not mess too much with what is currently in place.

Also, this is a 2019 that is coming in. Do we know whether the new 2019 suspension or trail crawl technology will alter what could be done on previous model years?

Many thanks.

I have an 18, plan to run 37” this spring. Ordered deaver +3, SVC bumpstops, rpg drop shackles and Geiser bro springs for up front. Plan to take it easy until I can get the sdhq glass front fenders. Set up works for many people. Lifting a Raptor is taboo!

Geiser Springs, collars or new front shocks for the front and Deaver +3s for the back will get you high enough to run 37s under normal driving conditions. You will have to trim the inner plastic wheel well liner on both sides in the front to avoid rubbing. I trimmed a 3.5" x 4.5" piece of the plastic as seen in the picture below.

Remember that a 37" spare won't fit unless you deflate it and put a ratchet strap around it. It rubs on the diff.

The amount of work people go to to be posers blows me away. No glass no 37s if you actually use your truck.

This appears the way to do it with no jerry rigging.

Do you have pictures of yours with glass?
