I guess that is one way to look at it. Then again the Raptor is overkill for a lot a people including myself but I don't think I'd want any other truck. I could probably get away with an extra cab 2wd F150 with a NA V6 but what's the fun in that lol?

I just split a cast wheel in half so maybe forged wheels aren't that overkill :biggrin:

I would love to see some pics when you get them on.



Will do, hopefully they arrive next week.

Those ridge grapplers are heavy!

I’ve been having a tough time coming up with replacements for my KO2 as well.

KO2 forward traction has been very good In the snow as is lateral stability. Stopping is average, but turning and cornering is poor. The truck has a tough time wanting to turn on a snowpack road.

I’m giving some consideration to the Cooper ST Maxx


Bit the bullet and ordered the Rotiform wheels in 20” going against my usual 18” Methods with my gen1 raptors. Wrapping them in 35x12.5-20 Nitto Ridge Grappler. Ordered from customwheels4u can’t wait for them to arrive!

I looked at those tires but you can definitely hear them and they throw stones everywhere. My brother had a set.

Wish I could tell you how the ridge grapplers perform but customwheels4U has them on the slow boat to China!
