Default Pretty Cool Raptor Build

Was browsing YouTube and came across a Raptor Build that turned out pretty nice from AmericanTrucks

I agree the truck looks great!

Do you have a lift or leveling kit on this one? What size are the wheels and tires?

Thanks!

The Sway-A-Way front coilovers are setup out of the box to give the front end about 2.5" of lift- however are fully adjustable from 0-3" all together. I didn't touch them as the truck sits perfectly level and I'm digging the stance. Rears were untouched, height wise.

Wheels are 17x9.5 Black Rhino Sprocket with a +6offset while the tires are Nitto Trail Grapplers in 35x12.5x17. Hope this helps!

Any plans to swap the OEM down pipes? Im retrofitting a Raptor exhaust onto an XLT.. I'm looking for a set of downpipes.

Looks great!

How noisy are the Nitto Trail Grapplers vs the Toyo MTs on the highway? I am running General Grabbers on my Gen 1, but I think it will be time for a change when I bite the bullet on a Gen 2. The thought of your truck in all black is helping me lean a little further...

Also, what is that behind your grille? I would paint it all black, if possible!

Hey Thanks KR! I have no experience with the Toyo's personally but the Trail Grapplers are surprisingly quiet for an M/T. I would say they are roughly as quiet as the Mickey Thompson ATZ which is a slightly less aggressive, all-terrain tire for what its worth. The Nitto really is a great tire and I have zero complaints.

And behind the grille is an aftermarket intercooler supplied by A.D.D. and produced by Full-Race and it will NOT be getting sprayed- I like the look of a big front mount.

Thanks for the kind words sir!

Really hate how that intercooler sticks out like a sore thumb.
That's the only reason I wouldn't put it on my truck..
I also really don't understand what's so wrong with the factory fox shocks.
I realize you get parts for free or fairly close,but why would anyone with a newer raptor bother switching to the sway aways.
I can only imagine afe gave them to you to pitch for their new step child sway away.
