Order Gen3 with 35s and upgrade with aftermarket 37s

[zapp]

I can't get over the blue interior, so I'm forced to order the Gen3 with Stock 35s.
Besides nailing the right offset, the Gen2 required some work on the inner wheel housings. I'm wondering, if the Gen3 will still require this.

Specific changes coming with the 37 package that we know of:
- Optimised suspension tune for 37
- Modified Frame to fit a 37 spare tire

Open Questions:
- Does the 37 package come with other mods e.g. to the fenders or more spacious inner wheel housings?

I'm in the same boat. I was excited to hear about the 37s, but bummed to discover Ford is forcing blue interior to get the 37s.
That being the case, I'll be getting 35s and going aftermarket for 37s. Is it possible to put aftermarket 37s on and skip the spare in the frame?

There has to be something else to it. The OEM 37 package has less travel than the OEM 35 package. They must be limiting the up travel some how? Not sure just speculating.

Gen 3 2021 Ford Raptor with 37's has a different frame, than 2021 Raptor with 35's

According to Motor Trend and TFL, Ford told them the 37 has a different frame. Road and Track says less travel with the 37's, see below Is Road and Track a reliable source? From Motor Trend https://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford/f-150/2021/2021-ford-f-150-raptor-first-look-review/ Time For...

Porbably better off going factory 37s and swapping seats.

I am not going to order a Gen 3 because no SCAB.
If they had a SCAB, I would order 37s and change the interior if I could not get used to it. The shocks are also different on the 37s. No warranty problems with changing the seat covers?

 

[Bluto]

Shocks are different and frame is different to accommodate the larger spare tire.

If it would be only the seats, that might be an option..
But Armrest and Dash are also blue, right?
Plus the Airbags might require coding changes or cables? New Seats (incl. rear) will also not come cheap.. I guess a wheelswap and maybe some shock mods are the better route to take.. I don't care for a 37 spare

If only it was that easy. It's not just the seats; it the entire interior... doors, dash, flooring... the interior would have to be gutted. Not cheap.

OOOORRRRRR... Ford is going to update **** like always and put out more choices after we dry out our *******.. That's my guess. why go through all that just get the 37s ? Just mod truck's little nuances to make it work. or wait and see..
