[QUOTE="DMO, post: 1838289, member: 60816"] Guys - I am going to look at and potentially purchase this 2013 Raptor this weekend, and thought I would get your guys' eyes on what I am seeing, and see if you have any additional comments on what to pay attention to. I am already going to inspect the following list of item when I arrive, and I did notice the Forged Offroad/Radflo suspension (from photos I requested, attached) - not sure if I should interpret that as a good or bad thing. Only other mod I see are the cab marker lights. Let me know if anything jumps out at you to pay attention to. Thanks!
