You do realize that by continuing to post, you're keeping the thread alive?

Nah, it's all good Cougarkiller. Nothing wrong with adding useful information to a thread. The way these discussion often digress into name-calling I always prefer to see a real world opinion, especially since you've owned the Icon shocks and a Raptor both.

I'm selling my OEM Fox shocks, wheels and tires to a co-worker. He has 2010 F-150 2wd and is going to just add my OEM leaf pack. He is not concerned about the minimal travel he will have up front by keeping his current set up. I told him I would throw in the uca's and tie rods if needed. Curious to see how it turns out.

Rcswb f150

Ok guys I do not own a raptor I found this thread through Google while looking up raptor suspension parts. I see your point on the raptors off road capabilities so here's one to throw at you.

Thinking a lot about it and curious if it's possible to put raptor suspention parts and front quarter panels on my 2014 f150 tremor ecoboost. Yes it's 2wd but I love the prerunner look and abilities. It is fully loaded just like the raptor with locking rear diff and bucket seats. Not trying to make a clone here obviously they don't make single cab raptors but to build a rcswb prerunner would be pretty sweet I thought

Yes it's possible.
Only issue you will have will be related to the steering rack position and bump steer.
I can comment on this because I'm running a 2wd long travel kit on my raptor. The issue I had was related to the vertical difference in mounting location of the steering rack to tie rod mounting point on the spindle.
I had to build ends for the rack that dropped the inner tie rod joint by 25mm to achieve good bumpsteer geometry with the (aftermarket) 2wd spindle.

So I'm not sure if the oem rack position is different between the 2wd and 4wd, or if it's a difference in the 2wd/4wd spindle, but it can be dealt with.
Unless you're getting a good deal on your take offs, it might be a better idea to just look into a baja kits or dirt king setup.
