Finally picked up my 2018 Leadfoot. Things a beast!

I’m new to this forum, and know I could probably find information regarding mods and what everybody recommends, but figured I might be able to compile all here.

I don’t want to do too much addition to it right now, but want everybody opinion on what I should do.

Paint Protection?
Level Kit?
Front/Rear Bumpers?

Are there certain things most would recommend as “most do’s” to a new, stock raptor? Thanks in advance.

Took the ride up through the fall mountains in Utah. Pretty neat picture attached.

Welcome to FRF.

Pictures. Or it’s really a prius.

FORSCAN is probably one of the more popular “must do” - it let’s you tinker with the gauge display, console display, Lincoln fold mirrors, etc.

Modes depend on what you want to do with the truck. There was a member here who recently had an unfortunate encounter with a deer. Unfortunate for the deer. definitely check it out because his bumper looked remarkably unscathed.

Something to bring the front up. Either Perch collars, springs or aftermarket shocks.

Paint protection was the best mod I invested in. I never have to worry about swirl marks, pinstripes, or rock chips again.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the truck... great choice of color!

For paint protection film I went with SunTek PPF Ultra. I had the hood, partial front fenders, a-pillars, mirror caps, partial bedsides, and head lights done.

A number of companies make perch collars to bring up the front. I opted for swapping out the whole suspension... Fox Factory Racing Series 3.0, Deavers leaf packs, RPG bump stop kit, and I’m waiting for my RPG UCA’s and tie rods to come on.

For bumpers I went with ADD Stealth Fighter for the front and rear. That’s why I didn’t SunTek the front bumper

Appreciate the kind words!

This bumper is available in a winch version! The winch version requires an intercooler relocation kit, however, the intercooler kit also has space for you to mount the ACC sensor so you don't need to buy a relocation bracket for it.

Let us know if we can help!

What did you pay for the Suntek PPF?
