Can a Raptor smoke all 4 wheels easily? No! Shorter gears would make a world of difference, yes you would have to re-programme the TCM but not much more. The transfer case is actually under less torque load with shorter gears not more.
Shorter gears will do much more that most the crap some...
Re-gear it.
Give yourself way more mechanical advantage to the point of being able to break loose the tires in 4x4 and higher gears. You’ll easily be faster off the line and to 100mph than non re-geared trucks.

Frame modifications are a big no no with RTA inspection and...

My local Ford dealer suggested replacing the units so I told them where to stick...
