Is this somebody's raptor on here. This thing looks so bad *** theyre probably on a forum to show it off. And i saw it in two different places yesterday which was funny. Also it is kinda hard to tell but it has the blue graphics on the back but they are like matted out. It looks sweet.

Then he better have it looked at, cause there is nothing in there to rub on. I mean it wouldn't be much of a desert jumper if the tires rubbed just by turning your wheels to the left. Mine didn't rub with the stock rims and tires, and they don't rub with the stock tires and after market rims with different back spacing.


sorry replies are so slow there is something up wiyh this site for the past few days its been terrible slow

you can easily fit 37's on a raptor with either new fenders or by doing the perch mod. the fox shox have 3 different settings on them and ford sets them at the lowest one. i got the fenders from SDHQ (cheaper to get both fenders than to get 1 from ford). they have a 2" flare and 2" rise. now people say my 35's look small

Don't even need fender mods if your not going too crazy on your wheeling....just make sure you are on the middle perch. If you are fully compressing your front suspension at speed while turning you may have a problem with rubbing with 37's, but then again, you may have other problems also...

The real issue with 37's on F-150's is the power steering pump will start having problems. There has been a lot of "noise" from the pumps due to the larger tires. 35's are big...37's are really big.
