So other then the basics of the fox shocks, larger tires, what other suspension components are there to lift a raptor compared to a regular f150? Was lookin at a customer of mines raptor and it's just awesome looking for it's lift. Curious what differences there are. Thanks in advance

Aside from the shocks,
Seven inches wider track
Longer control arms
High strength steel shock mounts
Thicker/larger rear axel

I have read several articles/post of project trucks where this setup is replicated and improved upon. There's of course other enhancements but suspension wise this is what I've been able to gather so far from interviews with SVT engineers, web articles and internet gurus.

The parts are interchangeable for the most part. You can purchase RAPTOR control arms and a Raptor spec 3.0 shock and install it all onto a normal 4x4 F150.

The rear leafs are different and also the rear leaf block is something like 2.75 inches IIRC.

So what is it about that makes the leafs different? Shorter/longer? Extra leafs? Wider?

They're softer which is what allows them to have more travel but is also why the Raptor has reduced payload. They'll bolt right up to a normal F150 though.

Here's a good article that covers the suspension: 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor: Suspension Walkaround

So basically, if I decided to do a raptor conversion, I'm gonna need raptor upper/lower control arms, tie rods...to widen the stance? Am I forgetting anything?

Raptor shocks, sway bar, sway bar end links, and CV axles if you're 4wd. The tie rod is just the outer one. Then rear shocks, rear blocks and leafs. Need to extend the brake lines and vacuum lines.

This thread covers everything pretty well: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/f150-r...ersion-253163/
