Truck looks great! Can you tell us a little more about the setup? What size tires are those, the 33s or 35s? Are there any rubbing issues or clearance problems? How has the performance been affected, power, handling, mpg, etc? Are those black method wheels? They look really sharp with the red letter grabbers.

Thanks for the good comments. Tires are 35x12.5x18, wheels r method racing 18x9, Camburg a-arms, fox coils w/res. pulled front sway bar for more droop travel. sitting level. rubs just a lil on the inner fender at full lock. Going to trim that this weekend an install bushwhacker extend a fenders. Not sure bout mileage yet, comp said 15mpg, but it needs to b calibrated to the bigger tires

If I had to guess. Probably 4-5 ". I can't see much more than that in the front. But the back is a lot more probably close to the raptor

Ford designers and engineers work long and hard to develop the Raptor. I don't think the suspension could be reasonably duplicated by weekend warriors.

I believe the smart thing to do would be to save some money and trade for a Raptor.
