I'm assuming their using a funny ruler like most suspension companies do.
Negative , will require more then a normal bolt on kit, the front diff will move and the factory coil buckets will be gone . Motor cage and so on will be part of the kit .

Connor at outlaw just finished a build like that. 39" with 4wd. Most bada$$ looking raptor I've ever seen. That size tire really complements the length of the super crew cab.
Sounds like Kevins black crew cab that is also caged and linked . If so it will be in vegas the next few weeks

That makes a lot more sense

Most of the long travel kits will allow you to run 39's. It requires major trimming/fab to the firewall to allow them to clear.
Also, the factory rack will not last long with 39's and 4wd. I would not be surprised if the Black Raptor mentioned earlier doesn't make it through a run without blowing the rack.
Gordon's truck has gone through 2 racks already and running the same kit. It's only running 37's.
It's not worth it unless you plan on spending major money on a custom steering setup or are willing to swap out racks ever run or two.
SVC can elaborate on the details but the geometry is better on a 2wd and allows you to run 39's and still use the factory rack.
