Raptor shocks on f150

[Mach1mike]

Just purchased the icon setup for my raptor and my friend is interested in the stock setup for his 2010 f150. Will they fit? He wants to level his truck. Any help would be appreciated.

I think he could but would also need the lower control arm and probably the upper as well.

That's really a loaded question because yes they can fit, is it worth it being we make great bolt in shocks for that model truck? Not in our opinion. You would need to many additional components to make it work in our eyes. (Suspension components, body components ect.) We make a 2.5" IFP coil over or a Remote reservoir version w/ CDC valve that will perform great on the front of his truck, improving the on and offroad performance dramatically. We also have a tubular uniball upper control arm to compliment them. For the rear we have a 2.0 IFP shock / 2.0 remote reservoir / or 2.5 piggyback w/ Bumpzone. Again in our opinion what we have available is way too good in over all value to look at the project of getting Raptor shocks installed on that model truck.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions or PM me.

Thanks for the info. I will let him know about your product and it would be to much work for my parts to be installed. I guess I will put my parts up in the for sale section.

Well I would consider other opinions, that is just mine. There is obviously a cost difference to factor in as well.

So, just to replace the stuts doesn't necessarily require replacing everything else on the front suspension.

If the upper mount plate bolt pattern is compatible (Looks like it in pictures, even if it's not, could an F150 upper plate be swapped into the assembly?)
Is the lower bolt the same size (Looks like it in pictures)
Is the extended and collapsed length compatible? I'd be fine with slightly longer on each.

If so, then the swap should be fairly easy. Especially considering these are $800 on ebay versus $1300 for your F150 coilovers.

The other question is how does the shock valving compare. Since the stock F150 has shorter A-arms, therefore the amount of leverage it gives on the shock is less. This should result in a harsher ride. But I don't know for sure,

You sould know alot better, Mr. IconRep, since you sell shocks for both the F150 and the Raptor, you must know those above specs for the shocks you sell at least.

Can you answer these questions? I am trying to word them in a way that doesn't reveal your company specifics that you'd like to keep out of the hands of your competitors.

• What is the spring rate on your F150 product compared to your Raptor product?
• Are they valved close to the same, or drastically different?
• What is the front lower shock mount bolt diameter
• What is the front upper shock mount bolt circle diameter, bolt count, and bolt size
• What is the rear lower shock mount bolt diameter
• What is the rear upper shock mount bolt diameter
• How do the collapsed and extended lengths of your F150 product compared to your Raptor product? Front and Rear.

Thanks
FYI, I'm an F150 owner who is building up my truck to have some of the capabilities of the Raptor, without the extra width or length of the Raptor, which is my opinion makes it too wide for some of the jeep trails I like to go on. Yes I said length too, I have a Regular Cab. I have a much smaller turning circle than even the smallest Raptor.

Anyway, I am highly considering buying the front shocks assembly and trying to get it to fit using at most just the upper spring perch. Thanks

I know where you can get some cheap.

I've done the swap on my 2011 Ecoboost. You will need upper and lower arms and tie rods.

 

[justvettn]

Is that it for parts needed? do you have any pictures of your truck with the Raptor suspension installed. What perch did you use.

I don't think you will be able to run top perch with regular length a arms. There are Raptors that tear CV boots and have experienced some binding on top perch so with the shorter arms the angle will be too severe. You might get away with mid perch but even then you may need a uni UCA.
