Post a picture of your Raptor, welcome to the place. Not too hard to get a frame anyway. What model do you have? VIN?

Wasn’t someone on here trying to sell a carbon fiber frame a year or two ago?

Is it a roush or shelby? There was a guy here a while back that claimed his frame was bent, then posted something that sounded like insurance fraud. The details are hazy to me.

Sasquatch?

Thanks for replies!

FordTechOne...why is it a strange 1st post? Isnt this part of what these forums are for...to ask for help and direction from fellow Raptor owners?

I am being told from a collision center that rather than buying just the front frame rail / repair kit ($4000), it would cost less (labor) to just buy a complete frame ($9500). Thoughts?

I am surprised with the damage shown that we are talking about such an extensive repair. Ouch!!!! It looks like a minor fender bender to my untrained eye.

The drivetrain and front suspension has to come out, not much more work to replace the whole frame. If you're paying for it and have the funds and love your truck, I would replace the whole frame. If you don't have unlimited funds and its just a "truck" to you, then just go the cheapest route.
