Or Is that just a rumor that the raptors frames bend when used as they show. I want one so bad. But not if they have the frame as a weak point

If you drive a civic like its a Ferrari it ain't gonna last long either.
There were a few people who bent their frames on a raptor run, there are also several people who didn't on the exact same run. It's all about knowing the limits. Don't go hitting a 12" high bump at 100 mph if you don't want problems.
It's actually a good thing those people's frames bent, if they hadnt, the truck would have "bucked" and possibly resulted in rolling and killing the occupants.

Don't see this as a bad kit....it's made to be affordable so you can buy them in segments. It's for people who can't afford to buy a 50K+ truck. Think this is a great idea.

Like previously said,you can build a better truck for less $$$. But it isn't a Ford product and voids your warranty

Having owned several dodges before growing a brain and buying a ford...that's all stuff that you will be replacing in the near future, now they are just packaging it up and making it seem like they ment to do it instead of just selling piece of crap trucks. All the same the raptor looks a lot better.
