They might work, but most 6" lift shocks are at about 33" full length and 4" is more around 31" which is what the raptor rears are. 2" doesn't seem like much but it puts the raptors outside of their internal bypassing comfort zone. Also if you off road, now you only have like 3" of drop and the shock is the limiting factor.

But they are getting harder to find due to them only being produced on 17/18 raptors. The 19's use livewire and will take ENOURMOUS amounts to get them to work on trucks not set up for them.

Yea the one i am looking at are for the 250 and 350 super dutys and the extended length is 33". On the 250 and 350 they only provide 2 to 3.5" of lift. But speaking to fox they recomended them since they are same length. For 6 " 2.0 that bds uses. I looked at the one that were 6" lift for the 250's but the extended length was 35" and that 2 " will cause problems. As far as the valving because they have compresion adjustment it shouldn't be a problem.

The raptor rears do not have adjustments. Also, if the shocks have any internal bypasses, the high/low speed adjustments only change so much. The raptor rears have 7 internal bypasses.

Vertex are a better ride quality than the non adjustable Fox coilovers and pretty much the same as the fox DSC coilovers. The vertex also have a 3-year warranty

I have them for the front of mine for the past few months. I like them. My only comparison was the OEM with spacers on top.
Installed them on this past of 4th of July weekend
