Does anyone have the part numbers to the raptor front axles that can be used on a 2013 xlt on tasca parts? What about tie rods?

I wouldn't spend the coin on new ones, you can get take offs from off road shops for much less.

What the hell is with fab shops in the states, I've tried a few companies and only camburg will return an email. I work with pipeline and fabrications everyday in the oil patch if anyone had these guys business practices up here you would be out of work plain and simple.
Do you fab shop owners not realize the oil industry is where you can make the most money? There's a reason you see so many raptors in Alberta we need the travel for our roads and almost everyone here makes over 100k a year.

I work 14hrs a day I don't have time to call and bulls**t with you about how I'm giving you my money, it's your job to earn it. It's not a privilege to buy your stuff it's should be yours to sell your welding work that hasn't even been fully xrayed.
Dixon-Vegas dezert fab, BTF, and brenthal won't get a penny of my money because of this.
Camburg and h&m have been class acts all the way and I will give them my money.
Sorry for the rant but It irritates me I can have local blue seal welders beg me for work but I have to beg an off-road fabrication welder to throw a set of arms together for me...... End rant

I can vouch for brenthel/baja kits. I love my setup from them. Works amazing! Jumped my truck last time I was home and there kit held out to the abuse.

Vegas Dezert Fab also does a lot of great work, but I think because of that and the fact they are so small the are always very busy.

Another great shop to look into is Dirt Freeks. They have some good kits as well.

Thanks Pat, we have a much bigger shop now since we built your bumper. We are right behind the Luxor Casino now.

Plain and simply it is race season so all shops are going to be swamped. Also hate to break it to you but emails will never get you anywhere when it comes to offroad shops. Most of the guys that work at these places are old school and don't take emails seriously. They probably get 10x more emails from people than phone calls. The people who actually call them are taken more seriously everytime. Also going into with the mind set that they "need to earn" your buisness is the wrong way to go. Most shops are booked 2 months or more in advance just get your rig in there. They don't have time for that lol.
