That's what I'm talking about!!!! That is how you do a suspension upgrade. Super nice work Brother. What I like is that the components are engineered to work together. How does it perform off road? I bet it is a beast.

For all you guys that are talking about the raptor should have a EB in it....Take a look at this guys rig....This is the way to do it..

Buy the camburg setup and be done with it. Its way better then the factory raptor suspension any ways and it will give you longer travel etc.

Will it fit and will it work are two totally different things.

Raptors are built on the same assembly line as other F150's. All the hardware will bolt on but there is more to it than that.

The rear axle/housing is 7 inches wider, you will need wider fenders for clearance.

Up front is a little tougher. Because Raptors have 31 spline front axles, you'll need to have extended length 28 spline axles fabbed or you'll need to upgrade the front diff as well. Again, you will also need wider fenders.

The Raptor suspension is cool on the Raptor because it comes that way, but you can get more travel for less money by going with camberg or brenthel. Pick up some deavers for the rear and some aftermarket 'glass and have a better package all around.

Thanks FLA-Svt. ive been tinkering with suspension since my 92 toyota and ive learned along the way. You cant beat the price on coilovers especially when you dont have to replace them ever again. Just rebuild, very easy to do. I see alot of guys who buy the spacers which in the long run will have to replace shocks and ball joint within a year or two...deavers is the best springs that money can buy and will make your truck ride amazing...Im still revalving the rear to match my deavers and the front, im almost there. I can serously run my truck 45-60mph offroad and can handle the abuse...ive had the same setup with my nissan titan. ive chased for a few race truck drivers also and took some advice from them too. I chased for my buddy this yeat at the Baja 1000 class 12and my truck did awesome. Anyone out there who is buying coilovers or spacers, you should replace your stock upper a-arms...

Hey Brother....It sounds like you know what your doing and you actually use your rig and suspension for something other than looking cool. You make some very good points. Keep pushing the envelope and pass on that knowledge.

To all the people that said it couldn't be done. http://www.rpgoffroad.com/brians-build/

Yes, it definitely CAN be done, but you don't *have to* go this route. You can get just as good performance using the RPG parts designed for the F-150. You can see a few pics on an update I did over here:
