at all the armchair quarterbacks that are probably still driving stock trucks.It gets tiring seeing all tha flaming on people who make the truck they wanted how they want it. Like it or not people the Raptor is not a trophy truck. 90% of the people who own them treat them as pavement princesses anyways. So whats wrong with lifting one? The body style coupled with a lift and bigger tires makes it look badass (although I would have no use for a truck that tall) and unique....way more unique than all the stock F150s running around with a level kit and 33s or a level kit and 35s on stock rims.
I love the pissed comments saying "its useless"... and "why would you ever do that?" Just like comments people make about show trucks. It gets ridiculous. Anyone who is a true gearhead can recognize and respect a sweet piece of machinery no matter what its use is or why the owner did what they did.

I agree totally......I like to look at trucks like that, would not own one unless it was my mud truck I could beat the hell out of it for fun. Looks great and thats about it for me, I did a 3" Leveling kit and some bigger tires and that is all Im going to do, as my truck is a street truck and bought for a street truck, and to tow my Trailers, and go camping with the Grandkidlets........... here is my New beast I have had it just over 2 weeks now...

We all make decisions based on our own personal preferences in our lives that many would not support or agree with (ford owner in a chevy family, college, military, 1 kid or 10, etc.). There are many things that do not make sense to do, but we do them because we are individuals each with our own sense of want, style, and what we consider cool or practical. While the truck is not in my taste, I think it is great that the person who bought that raptor did it because that is what they liked. Does it make sense to me, no but I am not about to bash them over it. I would rather have a variety of vehicle modification styles out there for our viewing pleasure instead of everyone having the same exact vehicle because they were afraid to be different.
