So I wanted that SDHQ bed spread fix, gone. Off the web site.

So as a 2012 SCREW owner. That I "plan" on keeping forever.

WHAT TO BUY NOW!?!?!

I'm stock suspension. Any parts I need to buy before they disappear?

IMO the first mod should be Deaver springs and bumpstop kit, not sure if they will stop making them for gen1 but if I was on stock suspension I’d get those first.

SDHQ is in the middle of redesigning their website. You should call and find out if the bed supports are actually gone or not. I'd bet they still have them.

Also, if they really are gone, post up in the WTB section. Lots of guys might be willing to remove theirs when they trade in or sell or upgrade to a bed rack system.

Any of the OEM Ford Raptor specific parts , look the prices for 3rd brake light and hood vents and fender vents. They have more than doubled in price last few years.

It is my opinion that the raptors are one of those rare vehicles that will become collector items and parts will be readily available for a long time. The Gen 1s are just entering that phase when their second owners are buying them and adding to, customizing them, etc.

Aftermarket support will likely continue given the number of Raptors out there, the fact that so many owners modify them, and mainly because of the fact that so many parts are shared with the regular F150s.

But as 1BAD454SS already pointed out, OEM parts have already more than doubled in the last couple years. Fender flares, grills, LED marker lights (full retail of almost $100 EACH now), etc. It is getting very expensive.
