Default FX4 to Raptor

What would be the cost to take a stock fx4 and turn it into a raptor suspension performance wise and stance.

I am trying to decide between and fx4 ecoboost and a raptor... pretty much complete opposites I know.

then spend about 10k in suspension

Well you really cant, however you get about the same effect if you just put on a 4 inch lift, but then the FX4 would look taller.. You can then get much taller tires and yet taller.. However you dont get the suspension travel the same as the Raptor. Who really needs to be able to go 70 MPH in the open terrain, but its cool... The big difference to me is the wider fenders, hood, grill, bumper etc... You would probably never notice the suspension difference, you can order FOX shocks and get a cool set of shocks there about 1.3k.... Still will not have the suspension travel however.... But if you own a FX4 alot of people will ask is that a Raptor? I get that about once a week....

Thanks for the responses but I dont care about the looks of the raptor I am just trying to find a comparable suspension setup. Thats the only area that makes the raptor attractive to me.

I know I cant get the suspension travel without heavily modding the fx4 but id like to have something that would keep up.

Check out camburg and Brenthel for suspension and fiberwerx for glass.

Gotcha. I read a few threads on people more wanting the suspension. Pretty pricey but seems like a cool upgrade if you have the money. Not sure if it is worth it but personally, I like to make something my own ie: upgrades and mods so I would take a FX4 and change it up by adding a similar suspension rather than just buy a Raptor outright. Probably more expensive but more unique I guess.
