Loaded up the bikes and drove 8 hours to Southern IN for the weekend. Truck was squatting a bit, but not too bad. MPG was 13-15 going ~75 most of the way (about 0.5 lower than normal). No complaints about the raptor!

Thanks! It was a huge pain loading them by myself but they held very well, even with the hard folding cover sitting in front of them. I also miss the 6.5' bed on my last F150 since I could actually close the tailgate :smile:

lol I believe it, this truck has a small bed but it ive grown to love it. I'm a super cab guy and the raptor is the only model ford offers where you can get a super cab with a 5.5 bed.

Yes same here, I love the bed. I am also a SCAB guy, always preferred the look over SCREWs.

Weezy nice truck, but stay away from lapeer county,lol. I have the same truck except I have blis and no bed cover. Do you have a rpg collar up front. The shot with the explorer in it looks like you truck is level. I want to do mine, but do not want to mess with the ride.

haha I just moved to MI so I had to look up Lapeer County! I'm closer to Novi so won't be invading your territory anytime soon :)

I do not have a collar up front, I think the angle of the picture makes it look level but it's really not. I also want to get mine leveled, but don't want to fork over the $500 to have it installed plus an alignment lol
I would not worry about the ride, I have leveled a few trucks and the 2" difference does not affect the ride at all (assuming the Raptor will be the same). Haven't read any bad things about the RPG's but I know there is a thread about them not actually giving the truck as much ride height as they claim: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f261/rpg-vs-bajamod-collars-54229/

The Bajamod ones go on the bottom of the perch, as opposed to the top (for $350 I think).

Rpg goes on the bottom also. I'm not looking for dead level though. Just to bring upmthe front some.
