F150 Build with Raptor Suspension

[F150Build]

Went out to the Desert Fanatics meet this past weekend here in AZ. Before the meet I had to switch the wedge shaped spacers on my Raptor coilovers, I guess they were backwards on the driver side. And then my buddy and I did a nut and bolt check and tightened everything down. Another friend proposed to his girlfriend while we were out there in the desert, and she said yes

Does anyone have experience with the Fox DSC (dual speed compression) shocks? I'm trying to piece together some parts for the rear end. I was thinking of these which are direct bolt on, but I don't mind modifying my shock mounts to fit a longer shock and buying something comparable to these.

I had to get a new phone and then I forgot about posting to the forum. But I haven't had many changes, in the past month I've acquired a second spare and redid my bed setup. Next on the list for the spares is to get two newish matching tires and make sure they are the same size as the ones that I currently run on my truck.

Once again I took another Raptor part and put in on my truck, and that's the front bumper. Obviously since the frame is the same bolting it up was easy but then I had a friend help me modify it so that the width of the bumper matched the width of my F150 valance. We cut the ends off the bumper and then removed little pizza shaped slices off of the cut ends and welded them back onto the bumper to bring them in to match the valance.

Last week I set up my truck tent by Napier to air it out and to clean all the sand and dirt out of it to get it ready for camping and hunting season.

It has been a few months since I have last updated this thread. I bought two matching 35" spare tires and bought a black method NV for one of the spare wheels. I created custom simulated beadlock rings for my Method Standards, powdercoated in red and blue. Added a curved 40" light bar behind the grille. Had my alternator go out going 75mph on the freeway on Christmas Eve, luckily I was able to make it home the last mile to park my truck at my apartment before losing power. And I recently added 4 LED cubes, 2 in each fog light hole with some amber covers.

Keep at it - like what you're doing and done. The custom bumper is way cool

Thank you! I’m really happy with how it turned out! After I swap in a new rear axle I’m going to build a tube bumper with some crossmembers behind the Raptor front bumper and build some custom skid plates for it as well and then I’ll paint the ends of the bumper where it was welded

Welcome I like your truck and I’m in the same boat with having to pay for school and wanting to buy everything available for the trucks.. I have take offs from my gen 1 and from gen 2 with like 2000 miles on them if you are looking for rear shocks.

Thank you! And yea I’d be interested in your shocks, how much are you looking to get for them?
