Love your build man. Not overboard or obnoxious. Exactly how I want my STX to be.

Ever run any trails near Mio? I go wheelin there sometimes but not nearly as much as I'd like. I love snow wheelin.

To recap, you just have the ICON suspension work at about 1.75" lift to fit these 315/70/17s?
Correct. They ICON's were originally at 2.25" when I installed them but I cranked them back down to around 1.75".

Thanks squid

No, I've never been down by Mio. Snow wheelin is fun. You just gotta do it before it gets too deep though. lol

Maybe like 1 or 2 inches by complete accident. Nothing like what some Raptor owners do though if that's what you're looking for.

Great build. The stance with the Rapor Rims and the Duratrac's made me pull the trigger on a set.

Thanks.


Build is being put on hold for the time being till I figured out what I want to do. Keep going back and forth between a Power Wagon, 2017 Raptor, first gen Raptor, or just completely going crazy on this truck.

Did a few mods for the time being, Vision-X Optimus Round LED Cannons on Alternative offroad hood mounts, OEM Raptor rear shocks and Raptor rear block, changed the UPR Oil Separator out for a Ford Performance one, Crown Performance SS Brake Lines, and PowerStop Extreme Truck & Tow brakes.

Have a few other lights from KC to put on as well along with some 1" Bora wheel spacers thanks to one of the shocks rubbing my tire when I turn.

If I remember correctly you have a cabin in the UP? I'll be in Copper Harbor the end of this month. Highly unlikely but if you'll be up there that time I would love to hit some trails together. I'll be itching to use my truck once I slap on all these parts I just bought: Fox 2.0 F&R, RPG UCAs, RCI SKIDS, SDHQ vac guards, 5 Star tunes, RC light bar and whatever 33" tires I pick to slap on this weekend.

Rubbing where. I didn't think the Raptor wheels/tires rubbed the front shocks. I don't think I had heard of that, but now I am concerned because I will be running the same wheels, shocks, and probably tires.

If I'm around I'd be more than glad to show you around. If not I can at least tell you some of the trails or areas to go to.

It's the drivers side rear shock. I can fit my fingers between the passenger rear tire and shock but not the drivers side. It's weird because everything is straight. Guess my axle was made after a holiday or something.

Awesome. How do you like those Vision X cannons? Do you like the output with the amber covers on? I need something amber before winter hits and I like those.
