Default Too much lift???

This was a Raptor I was lookin at on eBay. It has a 16" custom lift and it's sitting on 40s. Too much lift? I think it is... But at least you can cross a lake with this truck!...lol!

I was gonna say the same thing! Bigger tires will clearly fit. But it's a waist on that truck IMO.

Yea, bigger tires would definitely look better...lol. From the other pics I've seen, it's a very nice truck on the inside.

I think it's a waste of raptor too. And you might also need a ladder at the gas station where this truck would be visiting a lot...

Yes, too much lift. Negates half the point of the design of a raptor. Long travel "prerunner style" trucks don't rely on over all height to accomplish a controllable vehicle at speed. It is about suspension travel, low center of gravity and ground clearance from tall tires. That is a great example of a waste of engineering unless all you care about is the 6.2 V8 and the bulged fenders of the Raptor. To each their own, but............A waste in my opinion.
