not trying to start anything here, but obviously your unhappy with some part of the Raptor that is why your changing it. then why did you buy a desert racing truck in the first place. "BUT" I do understand that everyone has their favorite looks in mind and for that I say go for what makes you feel great about your truck. Me personally I am putting 52" ers on my Raptor me and the boys are going to make it into a monster truck. Just kidding mine is perfect just the way it is. LOL
... that does not make the most sense man... for instance I am buying the truck because I wanted the most capable 4x4 1500... has nothing to do with Baja or speed... I may end up getting some more aggresive tires so I can deal with more mud...
I would give your argument some credence if say chevy built a 1500 with an electric locker, a ton of travel and factory 35s, but they do not.
Seriously guys, this is not a desert racing truck... it is a stock f150 with some nice factory supported upgrades... if you bought it as a race truck you bought some hype, and would have been better served buying an older truck and bolting a long travel kit and roll cage to it...
