I'm in the market for gen 1 raptor and found one in TX with what looks like upgraded suspension. I was wondering if anyone could help identify the suspension and give a little feedback on if it's a worth while upgrade. I'll likely be daily driving the truck, so on-road comfort is as important as off-road capabilities. I think it's a 3.0 setup, but am not 100% sure. The vehicle is a 2011 SCREW with 104K miles and they are asking $31K. Thanks in advance for any input!

I have a 2012. That’s exactly what it looks like. I rebuilt mine with their 3.0 system and it looks just like that.

Looks like upgraded springs up front and 3.0 shocks on all 4 corners. Are the rear springs upgraded as well? should be like 6 plus leafs back there. She will ride just fine like that. Good luck on the purchase.

Thank you for the info! The 3.0 shocks definitely seem like a solid upgrade. I'm going to contact the dealer this week.

Those are the Fox 3.0’s. They don’t look like they have the adjusters but they’re still a worthwhile upgrade. That seems like a solid price, but one thing to consider is that just like the factory shocks, aftermarket shocks will need to be rebuilt at anywhere between 30k and 50k miles.
