Features to migrate from the Raptor to the FX4?
What would you like to see migrate from the Ford SVT Raptor to the FX4?
...I personally think the Fox Racing triple bypass shocks should become an option for the FX4.

Does anyone know if they will at least be available for upgrades? I guess I mean more along the lines of are they bolt up compatible with the stock F150 mounts?

My guess based on appearance is that they either would not fit without extra compression or would need a minor lift kit to make them fit.
Shocks look like they have similar mounting points. Not sure on what extra clearance is available on the new trucks for the larger overall shock size.
As a migration:
I think Ford could take what they learned in developing the suspension for the Raptor and make the link arm design the new standard for all F-150s. The higher end Ford/Fox Racing shocks would be an option or the standard for the FX4.

If they wanted to totally grapple the off raod truck market they would incorprate alot of the basic suspension alterations they made and make the shocks and entire front end. 7" wider stance. Mean man. And th braking and stability system...dont even get me started.
