Default Raptor shocks on XLT

Would installing a full set of 2011 Raptor shocks (front and rear) give any lift to a 2010 XLT 4wd??

The front coil overs on the raptor are adjustable, with three height settings. They will not fit without the raptor lower control arms or modifying your existing arms though.

How much do the LCA cost? Are they a direct bolt on fit?

I've seen raptor lca's on eBay for around $400, I bought a set for $350. They will bolt in place on our trucks. To use them though you would also need uca's, tie rods and, custom lengthened front shafts if you have a 4x4.

Raptor shocks and springs will fit your truck. Raptor fronts have different height settings just like bilstines.

Yikes lol. I think I'll just do raptor rears and fox 2.0 direct replacement front then. Thanks for the input.

Finally installed the Raptor rears. They ride like a dream. Now I just need to do the front with 2.0s.
