You could probably get away with it, but the mounting points for the rear shocks changed from first to second gen raptors as well as the entire f150 line. The difference you may run into is the overall shaft length difference. I don't think it is enough to make a fuss about, but I also haven't measured the difference in length to see if the overall travel would be an issue.

Fox or King 2.5’s will give you the same off-road capabilities. Setup correctly both will also run on the highway very smooth.
I have Kings and absolutely love them. The important part is getting them valves properly so like the guy above said pick a good shop.
You will get the same lift out of the both of them as they are both adjustable. Don’t preload the daylights out of either or you will lose all downtravel. Aftermarket UCA’s help with the increased downtravel which is really nice.
My setup is is in my signature. Let me know if you have specific questions after viewing.
Get 35’s too. They are fun. Easily fit with some sheet metal cutting.

what does it mean to have them valved properly? what does that involve?
