    What is the most ridiculous (in a bad way) mod you have seen on a raptor?

    I agree. Very nice color. Very poor wheels. Beware of speed bumps. A Raptor concerned about speed bumps - HA!

    And the added bull bars to decrease the approach angle. Hell, those ass ugly things don't look good on a basic 4X4, not to mention a Raptor - sacrilege. A work in progress would include the removal of the bull bars!

    What is the best suspension?

    I went with RPG because they had a progressive upgrade system (Stages) that allowed for a method to "build-as-you-go". And, they did feedback testing on their products that was easily accessible to review. Also, they did custom setting of the shocks for your particular truck (use, bed load...

    What is the most ridiculous (in a bad way) mod you have seen on a raptor?

    I've seen a few custom cars that were black with a slight amount of bright green trim that looked really sharp. I just think the green wheels are too much. A better look would have been green outlined "FORD" on the grill and only green the rim (and maybe the barrel) of the wheel. Leave the...

    What size are those wheels?? IMO, they over did the white. White makes for a great canvas for some creative graphics, but he merely increased the size of the "canvas". Wheels are absolutely too much!

    Change the "A" to an "I" and it would be closer - RIPTOR Because if that's a Raptor, you got ripped off.

    RPG anything and everything

    The shop that installed all my suspension and front bumper is in Jacksonville, FL, about 3 1/2 to 4 hours away. But it will cost more than a beer or two. They are fairly reasonably priced. Right off the east loop of I-295.

    New Tires and Rims

    The primary focus of functionality of the Raptor is it's off-road capability. It has longer control arms that allows greater suspension travel. The tire of most any car is an integral component of its suspension. The greater the amount of rubber between the rim of the wheel and the road, the...

    Must do "mods" and upgrades?

    Seems you will definitely need HD leaf springs for carrying loads off road. Might as well make them progressive springs. Might need a rear frame brace too for off-road loads. And air bump stops add a little assurance, for added peace of mind. I chose RPG for my suspension upgrades, but there...

    RPG Stage 3+ ?

    Okay, I'll play. IMO, pragmatically it's a RPG Stage 3. But if you want to credit WSI, I'd go with your #4.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Considering the crown of most roads, might have been more functional if the driver's side were lower side.

    Who makes that rear bumper? I like it.

    What is the most ridiculous (in a bad way) mod you have seen on a raptor?

    All that snakeskin might have been a little much. Maybe side bed graphics of "Raptor" in snakeskin would be a little more conservative.
