Not much of a video, but a clip from the cab on a night run last summer.

It's certainly a commitment.
I wish I had started with a cheaper 2wd model and built up from there. Anything that made it a raptor has been replaced with aftermarket stuff anyways.
I've got to do the rear end now, as my current Deaver/3.0 icon triple bypass/air bumps setup does not keep up to the front.
Ordered giant motorsports daily driver link kit about a month ago, should be ready to install in another month or two. It lets you keep most of the bed.
It'll be used with a 16" 2.5 coilover and an 18" 3.0 external bypass on each side.
Looks like this :

Changed to 37" tires, swapped to led projector spots from hid's.
Going from 35's to 37's had a very negative effect on acceleration. Ride improved offroad though.
Can't imagine how doggy the 5.4/4.6 must be with even 35's and 4.10 or less gearing.
I'm going to go to 4.88's for gearing.

You'll like the 4.88s. They will more than make up for the increased size and weight. I have 'em and love 'em.
