I have seen a lot of products for the raptor in the past 6 months of being an owner. I "have a friend"* who is very hard on his Raptor. He offroads it through whoops, soft sand washes, ruts, everywhere. He also uses it to drive to work on the weekdays.
What type of suspension options are proven offroad worthy (not just "I took it in the dirt once" offroad, but like baja tearing up offroad)? I am tired of weeding out mods that are "for show" vs for rugged use.
Anyone have any input on what is built/proven/and supported to be blasting through the desert?
What are some solid offroad mods? Long travel suspension, 18" rear suspension options, front suspension options, settings on shocks, leaf springs, bump stops, skid plates, etc. Anything to help my truck be an offroad machine and make it back home and do it again. I am not doing this for looks (well maybe 10% of me is) but the other 90% wants an offroad machine.
(*I used "my friend" in case Ford tries to this info against a warranty claim someday- you never know.)
