100% by the time you count the cost of the lift, wheels, tires, possible regearing with the new tires, and all that and the fact that you just hurt your resale whereas the raptor will already have a higher resale it’s a no brained. Definitely have learned either get a raptor or if you need the better towing get a super duty.I will almost always suggest buying a Raptor vs boring truck. Only you can decide which is best for you purposes. You are close with what you have. I would get a different lifting block, without the stop. Find a lower stop pad and reassess. Or cut the bump stop in half.
What’s the biggest risk I run if I cut the bump stop?
