8k set up............?

I would caution OP to slow down and do a lot more research before spending a lot of money. Best way to do that is talk to actual owners of these mods. Maybe even catch a ride in their truck(s).

If your only goal is to feel like you are riding on a cloud and you don't want any noise, then aftermarket shocks might not be what you want. You may be better off with just a new set of factory shocks. Yours are probably tired. Basically new take offs can usually be had for ~ $700 or so. And perhaps a set of Deaver +2s and aftermarket stock length shackles if you are getting noise from the rear. The heavier 37s are probably hurting your ride, too. The extra weight makes your suspension work harder. And they are probably a higher load rating than your stock tires, too, which means they ride much more harshly. You can try airing them down but they will likely never ride as well as the OEM C rated 315/70R17s.

Again, I really wouldn't recommend going down the suspension road without more research. Especially about the sound of bypasses.

Sunroof - ford. Just do it.
Tires - you did that, add the suspension needed.
Squeaking - new springs or clean and lube what you have.
Brakes - I guess upgrade if you need to. Stock ones are pretty decent except for your oversized tires.

Just call Jeff at SVC and save your self many hours of frustration.

‘Love my 2017 raptor. 50,000 miles. But I’m a little annoyed with minor issues. My truck sounds like a 150 year old barn door opening when I go over minor bumps. Maybe new leaf springs? I ran into the upgrading to 37’ toyo tires..rubbing. The sun roof is jammed and needs fixing.. breaks are about finished..

Not too many issues, but now it’s time to get better quality products that Ford can’t provide for me..
looking at..

Fiberwerks fenders to fix the rubbing
Upgrade leaf springs
Alcon brakes
New 37’ toyo open country
SVC bumpers
Magnum force stage 2 super raptor cold air intake
Cobb tune
I need advice for new Fox shocks!
And if there’s anything else that helps the truck run smoother and at a higher performance, please share.

Thank U

It would certainly spend a lot less time in the service department.

Read the first sentence. As previously noted, Ford is getting blasted by warranty costs these days.

Looks like I knew quite a bit more than you, though. Nothing new there.
