I am going to be purchasing a 97-01 flareside with the 5.4 triton it will either be a regular or ex cab short bed 4x4 I run a truck and jeep club and I have no budget to be concerned about for this build besides it can't go over 54grand because that was my budget to buy my raptor I'm doing this instead I need it to shut down all American off road specialty rigs and beagle to have the power to pull jeeps and h2's this will be a five year project just need thoughts on what I should do.

 

i recomend buying a raptor... why is it that you dont want to get a raptor?
