Gen 1 Reversing Lift Kit

How much did you spend on reversing the lift kit? I’m looking at picking up a 14 Roush Raptor and it’s kind of the same situation.

Roughly probably about 4-5k. I did it all, it’s 110% worth it. All stock components, with some minor upgrades.

Glad you took that junk off and saved a Gen 1 and made it real again. You didn't take any pictures of the process?

Ha, no kidding. I have done all of the repairs. From heater core/bottom actuator (ask me how many times I’ve gutted the interior) to all the suspension stuff. And just today did the rocker arms (2010 5.4 POS). Only thing I had done with taking the lift off was having a shop weld the cross member brackets. No process pics, I was just chipping away at getting it done over the weekend. Took about a day and a half not including the shop weldinging and alignment. I did take a quick clip during the process but never been good taking time to show my work piece by piece. More so if getting it done and over so I can go wheeling with peace of mind. Clip and pics of some parts.

What did you do with the old shocks? Some would die for those, just saying...

Thanks, man! Much appreciated. It was a PITA. Hardest part was putting in the front diff. I still have it all!

Well, if you want to make some money on those shocks, clean them up and post them on here for sale, would probably get between 5-700 as is, or send them out for a rebuild or rebuild them yourself, since you're so handy, lol.

I’ll give that a try. Ha, yeah I’ve considered the rebuild route but would prefer the extra $$. Didn’t think these would sell since most Raptor folks go for the 3.0s.
