Question for the "fake raptor" guys....
Wouldn't this kind of be like the whole Roush Mustang thing? You can buy a Mustang GT and put a Roush kit and other Roush mods and still is technically considered a Roush... wouldn't this kind of be like the same thing? I mean it might not have 6.2L in it or purchased as a Raptor, but it is fitted with real Raptor parts whether it has 5.0L and gigantic lift or not...
Just some food for thought, and please don't give me some dumbass negative answers trying to start controversy or anything, this is a legitimate thought not an argument.

I just thought it would be more practical to BUILD a 5.0 into a raptor CONVERSION then buy a raptor an gut out the new motor for the 5.0
Hill descent control - the trucks computer limits downhill speed so the truck doesn't get away from you
Off road mode - probably the coolest option on a Raptor - 1) shift points changed to hold gears longer for more throttle control, 2) ABS changes to account for how the tires will react when braking in the dirt, 3) throttle becomes less sensitive so it doesn't modulate when bouncing terrain causes your foot to apply inconsistent pressure, 4) air bags are desensitized so they won't deploy on a hard jounce from jumping, etc...
Torsen front diff
You may or may not have a rear locker depending on which base package you start with.
I don't care one way or the other, it's your truck. I think what some of the guys are saying, or trying to say, is that a Raptor is a package. It's much more than fenders and suspension.
If I had the spare coin I would Raptorize a RCSB 5.0 in a heartbeat.

Ok I know I was missing a few other stuff, thanks. Most of that stuff I would never use since it will rarely see offroad but I know its not technically a raptor. If I could create a raptor package 5.0 emblem or decal I would.

Too much arguing! Lol
It's a badass truck though, I just skimmed through the pages hopefully finding pics, didn't though
So you should upload more pics of everything! You need yourself a nice photoshoot.
Of lift and interior and well everything! Badass truck man, good thing they didn't pay for your mods lol you did! So do whatever you want with it!
But yeah, pics!
