Tell that to Biggest.

If you have the coin, go for both!!!

I've got the coin for a blower to go with my long travel front, but will be faster offroad by funnelling those funds in to a linked rear end. Still has lots of power, and the long travel front is a quantum leap over the usual 3.0 setup as far as carrying speed offroad.

Biggest has gone down the rabbit hole, so to speak, on the 6.2. There comes a point where building power just becomes an engineering exercise rather than a practical need. Been there, done that. Repeatedly.
Now if he were to link and long travel his truck, he might be able to apply that power offroad.
Really, it just depends where the truck lives. In the dirt, focus on suspension. Primarily street, focus on power, and light suspension mods.
I've yet to see anyone go all the way on both the motor and the suspension...

On a Raptor frame?

If your going to go all the way, do it right and do a trophy truck. JMHO

And point out, I don't believe Biggest is finished. LOL

Blower =instant power upgraded shocks= you don't have to be the best of driver to go stupid fast. Wilson =e-30

The bottom line if your not having fun it's not worth it. If you are having fun don't worry about what others think, do it for you. Personally if I had the money I'd have two one for Sunday driving and one for all out don't care if it gets scratched friday nights. The Friday night one I'd want to push and upgrade as needed, it's a never ending cycle.
What I do have is a Friday night that have to look good on Sunday raptor, the small amount of mods I've put on make me happy love the sound of the headers the CAI e-30 and tune bring it altogether.

Wilson-You are exactly right. The only person you need to make happy with your truck is yourself. Great info on this forum, and lots of different ways to make these already amazing trucks better. To each their own and enjoy doing it!!

First that's not a Procharger, it's a Roush system using Eaton's 2.3L compressor.

Tough call since there isn't any history on who's Raptor it was on and what happened that it's off and their selling it.
I would give Roush a call and see if they will recondition it and maybe offer some kind of warranty, you never know.
In any case your going to have spend some money on new items to install that on your truck. And hope there's nothing wrong with it.

I agree with MTF - I have learned my lesson(s) the hard way trying to save a few bucks. I would spend the dollars, get the best kit new, with all the parts and pieces. If you value your time and want reliability pony up for new parts. You will save time and money in the long run.

Fast + reliable = not cheap!
