The rear spring is different but will fit, the FX4 block is 1.25", the Raptor is 3". Yes the shock will fit with the Raptor springs and blocks installed.
The fronts coilovers i believe will not due to the upper mount being different. This I'm not 100% sure of but the rear I am.

it is in fact a 2.5 block, im not sure if it will make a difference in your setup, other than making the rear end higher.
the reason that the front coilovers don't fit is because they are too long, they mount up, but you would need raptor upper control arms, raptor lower control arms, lengthened cv axles, brake lines, etc to get the front end to work, and then they would stick out another few inches each side to which new fenders would be needed, its a large process.
The raptor leafs are softer and more progressive, less payload indeed

Will you be using the Raptor springs? If not, your factory springs won't travel as much and the Raptor shocks might work. Why I would do is measure from center of upper mount hole to center of lower shock mount hole. Then find out the fully compressed and fully extended lengths on the Raptor shocks and I'll do the math!
