    Looking for new Wheels Limited Edition Raptor

    Bought this truck a few months back, previous owner put 22" wheels on it and they need to go. I'm not good at visualizing wheels on a vehicle and really need to see them on the truck to know if I like them. That being said, I know a lot of people have a good eye for that. I want to stay away...

    Options/Experiences with Tires

    This is in my door jamb? It shows D rating. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just want to be sure I understand why it is C vs D. Thanks.

    Options/Experiences with Tires

    I was thinking of trying to find a set of factory beadlocks, I actually really like the looks of those on the Gen 1s. Isn't stock tire D rated though?

    Options/Experiences with Tires

    Hey Everyone, Bought a new to me 2014 Ruby Red Metallic Raptor in March with 37k miles, the previous owner has done a few tasteful modifications, the only one I dislike, is that he put 22" wheels on a 35" tire (Toyo Open Country RT). I am looking to stick with a 35" tire, but move to an 18"...

    Need Help, New Raptor Owner

    @Ricoman thanks! It has been a blast, per Canuck's notes above, and having mismatched shocks has my OCD going crazy, so at some point I will likely upgrade, or if nothing else buy their new version of the Fox 2.5. Time will tell. Swapping out my wheels for something with more sidewall will help...

    @Canuck714 Awesome, I appreciate the thoughts there. I didn't even think of a different shock tower length, but makes sense. I will definitely it enjoy it off-road from time to time, but what's scary is the price of new suspension setups. I will put it on a short list of stuff to do though...

    Need Help, New Raptor Owner

    @Canuck714 Here's some pictures. Also, what would I need to take a picture of to see if they are at mid-perch? It doesn't have quite the rake that some Raptors do stock, so it leads me to believe either they are mid-perch, and/or the newer shocks if they are from Gen2 might be slightly taller...

    Need Help, New Raptor Owner

    Hey All, about a month ago I got my hands on a 2014 Limited Edition Raptor with only 38k miles on it. It has been the best decision I've ever made in a vehicle. That being said, I am getting close to 40k miles where I know it is recommended a rebuild be done on the shocks. I do not have much in...
