    Wheels and tire setup and why

    I think it looks great but I may be a bit biased.

    Raptor envy?

    Well said. I will never understand the need to be in the fast lane and hold everyone else up on purpose.

    GEN 2 Body panel discoloration

    My white F150 was the same. The plastic parts all had a slight yellow tint and it drove me crazy. Looked dirty. The rear piece is plastic also. I did a little auto body in my past and I believe it’s from the additive to give the paint some elasticity. With no additive the paint would crack...

    Aftermarket Wheels

    I never thought about that. My motorcycle has magnesium wheels which are strong and light. I have not seen any magnesium wheels for the Raptor. I guess they would be cost prohibitive?

    Best discount on Venomrex wheels

    They are light, well made and what I feel is the perfect offset. I am very happy with mine.

    Brakes?

    I am one of the few that feels it brakes really well stock. It seems to brake much quicker and more effortless than my XLT I traded in. I felt the XLT brakes were great but Raptor feels even better.

    Race Red any regrets ?

    I love the race red but sometimes take clients to lunch so went with a more subtle magnetic as the Raptor is pretty intense already. If i did not have to give thought to my older clientele I would definitely went with the red. Looks awesome blacked out

    GEN 2 Need product recommendation for someone with little time or skill

    I have been using colinite wax and it is super easy to put a coat one and it lasts around a year or so. I went from washing once a week to once a month as it stays so clean now. I put 2 coats on my new Raptor the day I took it home and still has zero swirl marks. Even the dreaded window...

    GEN 2 Undercoating

    I coated mine with Amsoil HDMP the same week I bought it. Stuff works great. I used to spend a half hour hosing down the undercarriage everytime I got back from the beach and it still had rust. With my new truck I never hose it off after the beach and it looks like brand new underneath.

    Yes they are VR 601s in mystic black. I am usually a function over form person but I really like the way it looks with 20s

    Speedometer off?

    i just replaced my stock tires with 325/60r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The listed heights say the new tires are 1 inch taller but in reality they are a solid 2 inches taller. After installing them I downloaded a GPS app for my phone to see how much my speedo is off now. It is exactly correct...

    Eibach springs leveling kit price

    I paid $900 to install Eibach front springs and Icon rear leafs including alignment etc. this was on Long Island so you should be way cheaper

    Tints

    Exactly what I was thinking. Looks good but you would not make it half a mile like that on Long Island without getting pulled.

    Undercoat

    Ditto. Just did mine 2 days after buying it. I go on the beach often and wanted protection from the salt. HDMP is great. Easy to use and gives a great protective coating and looks as good or better than without it.

    Raptor Titanium Lug Nut Option

    Yes rotating mass is significant but not an ounce or two vs 100 pound wheel. Plus the weight is more significant the further out on the rotation (tire then wheel then lugs) If you got the dough and want the cool factor go for it but you cannot validate the weight argument

    Raptor Titanium Lug Nut Option

    I am with you. You can take a leak before driving and save more weight. $515 for lug nuts would be the most expensive way possible to save weight. I could not imagine spending that kind of money on lug nuts

    Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

    I hope I did not come off too negative. I absolutely love this truck. I traded in a 2015 f150 which was a great truck. I leveled it and put on bigger tires. It looked really good. The Raptor has a different purpose. I liked the low and wide look as it is purposeful. I try to only do...

    Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

    Just got home from having eibachs and Icon setting 1 installed on my 2019. I measured 7.5 wheel gap up front and ended with 9.2. Got exactly 1.7 as advertised. The rear went from 9.5 to 10.7 so just a little over the 1 inch advertised. To be honest the suspension was real soft and drove so...
