RPG has also stated that, with minor modification, their Raptor specific aftermarket gear will work on an 04-08 F150.

There was a thread awhile back where a guy did a complete (body panels and suspension) conversion on a white 06. I forgot to subscribe to the thread and now I can't find it.

I should think so, the dual LCA you posted is only on a handful of Raptors. It's pretty much the max capability without going crazy wide up front. I'm doing the same setup but with the Camburg dual LCAs.

Be sure to start a build thread!

I used a 1.5" wheel spacer till I can get a rear end for cheap.

Hit up RPG, Outlaw Raptor and SDHQ, they routinely have Raptor take-offs.

Edit: unless you get a decent discount, stay away from 2010 rears. The early Raptors got a batch of bad axle shafts.

here in canada, i just completed installing a kit from mcneil racing.
it took awhile to get the kit which wasnt complete. it was missing headlite brackets and all told it took about 10 weeks to get all parts.
the headlite brackets needed alot of tweaking to fit and even then the headlights and tail lites too were a very poor fit[ looks good from far but far from good close up]

also there was minor cracks and poor finish on some areas of the kit making alot of sanding necessary and i doubt that it will hold paint very long w/o eventually cracking too.

i went the cheap route and painted it myself and just made my own tubular endgate/ spare tire carrier, front and rear tubular bumpers, front skid plate as stock or custom parts and paint up here wouldve tripled the instalation cost.
any idea why my pics wont upload on here? superfine quality on a cellphone too big?
