Yeah... longer axles from the Raptor are needed

If desert running isn't your thing, the lift will look good and be helpful when clearance is need while "wheelin". However, if you wanna run shi* over at high speeds, you're gonna want suspension.

Ok, some more pics as requested.

I tried to show my Deaver pack, the RPG brace, the Fox hydraulic bumps and the Raptor rear shocks. I may and try to take a picture with the wheel off eventually.

So... it's been a while since I've posted. Really busy with work. But, I've made a couple of changes. One, I got new tires and wheels. I ran across a sweet deal on Craigslist for the OEM Raptor Beadlock wheels with the OEM BFG's. Only problem is, my upper arms will sometimes rub the sidewall. I'll be working on that
problem tomorrow...

Two, I ordered and received my front prerunner bumper... RSP by N-fab. Here's a pic.

If you're wondering how easy of an install this is... it's a two person job. This thing is fairly heavy and very bulky. You'll need two people, a drill, a cut-off wheel and some type of grinding attachment for your drill. Mine sat too far to the left and I had to notch the frame to move it over.

Also, I had to do some cutting and shimming to get the thing lined up. However, when I was finished, it was a very good fit.
