+3 are the way to go. After they settle, you will sit about ½-¾" over stock height with an empty bed.
No welding or drilling required to install the SVC A.B.S. kit. It is 100% bolt on.
Should not effect your warranty any more than what switching to deaver leafs will do. I have not heard of anyone having warranty issues because of bumps and leafs. Of course, your factory warranty will not cover the aftermarket leafs.

I was thinking of doing a custom set of +3s because the stock +3s still seem to be a little soft, I could be wrong though.
Jesus **** another towing ******* thread Jesus, just read your ******** owners manual it states all the limits, then do some math, weight the tongue of your trailer add it to how fat everyone in your truck will be and all your other crap if that number is over than 1000 go buy a different truck to hall your load.
I'm not sure why you're so angry, but I think I clearly laid out why I purchased this truck. Just because I'm not turning it into a super Baja machine doesn't mean I shouldn't of purchased it. I understand this topic has probably come up quite a bit but I was not able to find out all the info everybody else has shared in the other threads.
You're losing it. LOL
Yeah, after being around awhile it is somewhat surprising to see the same threads continue to repeat themselves and nobody searches anymore but I do wish the search here was better. Wonder if the admins can make a prompt when creating a new thread that ask you if you searched yet (yes/no). I know some sites with forum KB's will allow you to ask a question and it will search for you and show you the results then if they don't fit, then the next option is to create a thread.
I did a search, and probably 5-6 hours of reading maybe even more on this topic. Threads on here and other forums and I didn't find the answers I was looking for. I did find some others who were towing 10K with their raptors but all had set ups I wasn't interested in purchasing. Had I not done this research I wouldn't of gone out and bought a 24FT toyhauler that clearly exceeds the listed max towing in the manual.
I wasn't asking IF it could tow the trailer, but how would be best to go about doing it safely without spending a ton of money.

8500 dry!?!?! That thing must be close to 10K loaded! youre only running the HD leafs with no bump stop kit?
At first I was going to say thanks Ford for bringing out all the stupid kids but you seem legit. Don't prove me wrong!
I'm not a dumb kid that got my daddy to buy me a raptor, or a uneducated guy who just bought one blindly. I've been building cars for close to 20 years. This is the first truck i've personally owned though, so i'm trying to learn what I can through research and all the great info you guys have shared in this post and others on this site. So thank you to those who have shared your knowledge, even if this is a beat to death topic.
