It's such a no-brainer it just almost goes without saying... except when someone says the word stock and Raptor Run together lol

The word on that is to not let your right foot over-ride your sensibilities out there.

Just say NO! to the multitude of stockRaptor-killing "kickers", even if there is an eager cameraman lurking there. A reasonable speed is best over these, as they are G-out mounds that cause the front and rear to work against each other - severely stressing the Raptor frame (G-outs detailed extensively in an early post on this thread).


Here's a perfect example - note how the rear wheels "kick" up in pic 3 driving the front end into the ground. This is then followed up by the rear landing heavily (highly modified Raps can get away with much more):

However, there are 2 beautiful plateau jump hills with long straightaways before and after each. These start at mile marker 7 and are very Raptor-friendly as all 4 wheels land together like they should for a very easy landing. These require a fair amount of speed to even get the wheels off the ground because have such a gentle tabletop landing.

These hills are the right locations to get a few good pics without damaging your truck. Event organizers do not condone jumping for their liability purposes, yet it happens. A lot. PM me for details on how to do this without getting into trouble.

It is always a good idea to at least get the $100 SDHQ frame reinforcement kit for this rugged hill country course. Inexpensive peace of mind. Easy to install.

Just keep the throttle pegged when u come off those donkey kicks it'll set the ass end down. If your nose diving floor it if your ass end is dropping tap the brakes. Works a lil better on dirt bikes but I've found it doable with these big ass trucks...too an extent lol.

And i couldn't agree any more about the 100 frame inserts. That's all I had in this pic....and top perch.
