So I just acquired a somewhat large sum of money, and decided to invest it where is matters most. In my truck! I am a senior in high school, and for my senior project, I am an intern at Outlaw Offroad in Santa Ana CA. Anyway, the owner, Connor, said that he would hook me up with all of the stock raptor parts that made up a raptor's suspension, since he installs lots of after market stuff on Raptors. For $2400, here is what I am getting:

Lower Control Arms
Upper Control Arms
Spindles
Tie rods
Axle shafts (front only)
leaf springs
Rear block
Stock fox coil overs with mid perch
rear fox shocks (internal bypass)

I am also getting front Raptor conversion fiberglass from either fiberwerx or glassworks or a combo of both.

Part of the reason for making this thread is to show how inexpensive it can be to build a truck that locks and performs as well as the raptor (or very close).

I will have more "before" pictures once I download them onto my computer. But you can look on my account I have a few on here.

I will be selling all lift kit components in the near future (hopefully next week) and eventually hood, fenders, bumper, etc.

I will be posting pictures as I install everything as well.

Everything that you need to lift the truck, as well as the offroad lights (2 KCs and 2 Hellas), hood, fenders, bumper, and grille is for sale. This also includes all suspension components. If you are interested in anything, of any specific part, PM me.

As far as the new body goes, I have decided that I am going to get the Raptor conversion from Fiberwerx, except for the fenders, which I will purchase from Glassworks Unlimited, because I need ones with a 2" flare and 2" rise.

Are you doing the one-piece conversion (Front end)?

What lift are you running right now?

I originally proffered the one piece. But unfortunately it is way too wide for the stock raptor suspension. So I am doing the Fiberwerx conversion hood, grille, and valance, and will get extended fenders from glassworks.

Right now I am running the Pro Comp stage I kit, with Icon coilovers.
