Grab take-offs, new ones aren't worth the money.

Outlaw Raptor
RPG Offroad
SDHQ
ADD
KHC

They all supply Raptor folks with parts and services - you can put together a package by calling around.

Thought I'd throw our Generic Website info here: Of course does not apply to all kits but it's a general idea


Chase Kit: Summary Race quality bolt on travel for your daily driver. Made for streetability these kits were engineered to increase your stock ride height and travel but we didn't stop there, we replaced the weakest component the upper control arm ball joint and replaced it with a aircraft quality 1" stainless uniball. All of our suspension systems are first designed and tested in CAD where we receive files directly from the manufacture or have the vehicles scanned for only the absolute best fitment and geometry. These are 100% direct replacement bolt on systems that require no welding, grinding or drilling.

Includes: Boxed upper control arm
Bolt in Coilover

Average Specs:
*25%-35% more wheel travel
*0-3" of lift with proper geometry
*100% bolt on

Prerunner kit: Summary Race quality bolt on long travel suspension for your prerunner. These long travel suspension kits are made for the weekend warrior who wants to use his truck. We eliminate the factory upper and lower control arms and replace them with race quality boxed upper and lower arms. These kits have no to minimal fabrication or grinding required similar to a standard lift kit

Includes Boxed Upper control arm
Boxed lower control arm
Shock adapter
Tie Rod Extensions
Extended brakelines
All necessary hardware
Average Specs:
12-14" of long travel suspension
0-3" of lift
2-3" wider per side
No welding required, bolt on kits

Race Kit: Summary Race Kits are made for extreme abuse, ready to go wherever you want to take them. They require grinding & welding but all geometry and tabbing is figured out for you. They are engineered with Offroad in mind first and street manners come second.

Includes:
Boxed Upper control arm
Boxed lower control arm
Custom fabricated spindle
Boxed upper shock mount
Custom tie rods with steering adapter
Limit straps
Extended brakelines
All necessary hardware
Average Specs
14-18" of long travel suspension
3-6" of lift
4-5" wider per side
Major fabrication required, welding & grinding

Thanks for posting!

Baja Kits (Brenthel) is the real deal guys, if you are serious about going fast in the dirt they are one of the top names.

Take advantage of them posting in here, they know more about this stuff than I do.

Call the number Baja Kits posted.

The ones I listed were just some of the 'usual suspects', there are a lot more folks out there - like Brenthel, I just forgot to list them.

Dave still has some of my parts lying around. What exactly I couldn't say. As he sells stuff he papals me money.
