I love that look. The 17's with that size tire make the truck look stout. Not over the top. Just tough and massive. Nice work! I'd love to get my hands on that style of raptor wheel/tire size. Don't know if the style would mesh well with my Lariat though.

I wanted to go with a vendor on here.. but there is a big difference between a need and want
I want everything
don't need anything


so I decided to give a try and I went with 40 lift front spacers off ebay
solid piece of aluminum like art work with screw in studs nice and done right


and a 89.00 lift rear block
so for about 130-140 plus the 250 labor I lifted the truck for under 400 bucks

Agreed, all of them look good with the Raptor setup. I went the opposite route, I have a silver XLT, going with a mint set of Platinum wheels.

The truck looks good!! Is It a 4wd? If so a 3" level is to much for the Cv shafts, 2" is as much as you should go. If it's 2wd then I have no idea so it could be ok. If you tear apart any front suspension party you need to have an alignment even if it feels good. $70 is a lot less than wearing your front tires weird. I can't believe 2 pages already and no one has said anything about an alignment.

It's 4wd
My mechanic is an alignment specialist
He looked at it and said all well no need to change anything

Already thought about that

I've got a "want to buy" ad on 2 different Craigslists for those wheels. They can be had, reconditioned, at Detroit Wheel and Tire for $375 each.
They look great on a non-Raptor, with decent sidewall on the tires.
Good job guys, hope to maybe join this club!!
