Sorry. Lol Whipple who makes super chargers did a Cold Air,Intercooler,Tune kit for the Gen2 Raptors. MPT is a company that tunes and so are the others that I mentioned and everyone has had really good luck with. I haven’t heard of anyone blowing up a motor, most take the Raptor from mid 300hp range to the tires to around 430-450hp and 500-550tq to the tires. Huge difference in the feel of the truck and way better transmission tuning and shifting.

I did the switch from the oem lugs to the Mcgards today.

I also put on the front rokblokz mud guards. Didn’t do the back yet and not sure I will. Nit crazy about drilling a hole in the wheel well so close to fender.

do you think it looks dumb not to have rears? The fronts protect the front doors which is my real interest.

are those oem replacement lugs or conical for aftermarket? Can’t recall exactly but some of the oem lugs are flat made specifically for oem wheels. Whereas the aftermarket are conical (cone shaped)

They are shaped the same as OEM. Made by McGard.

Too far for me, but it’s a straight forward install. I assembled the cover on top of the bed before putting any clamps on. Once it was straight and square I crawled under and added all four clamps and adjusted the lock bars. Here is how mine fits.

OMG, that missed weld is staring me right in the face. Lol

The $600 discount is more than worthwhile for this one missed weld on the bottom of the front panel...
