[QUOTE="Gunner75, post: 219565, member: 6623"] I have learned quite a bit today. The Raptor and the Platinum frames are virtually the same. (Especially from the front door area back.) There are three springs the F150 series trucks use. I brought home a Platinum Eco Boost with Max tow and hooked my trailer to both taking pre and post measurements. The Raptor has the bump stop cast pc in place, the Platinum does not. Maybe that is why Raptors are bending frames????? The Platinum will smoke the tires from a dead stop with light power brake. My Raptor will not. (BTW, the Platinum had 3.73 gears) I got the hook up with SVT direct. I have been asked to in great detail email what I am looking for in the Raptor/F150 and explain what research, etc I have done to date. I don't expect to get much out of them, but my dealer has a hook up with them and somehow thinks I may get the "example" customer care. Whatever that really means. BTW, I will likely try out a set of Super Springs to simply aid in pulling a couple ATV trailers and an open car hauler at times. I don't plan on jumping my truck and or extreme anything. Here is a link to some good specs on F150/Raptors. [url]https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/topics/2012/12_F150_SB.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
