They really shoulda, that and the engine were the main reasons I didn't get a Raptor.

Concerning those bed fenders, they are 3" wider than the oem ones- I had to extend the inner fender gap by 3" to close the wheel cage (not shown at time of the picture). I agree that the front fenders really look wider than the rear ones. I think this setup is to give more wheel gap when cornering with 37" tires?

What is missing:
- EcoRaptor logo, 3.5L Twin Turbo Logo, black camera bezel & logo, 37" Toyo tires with 22" Fuel wheels (with larger offset). Back Cat Double exhaust, SCT Tuner, cold air intake. I think this is it for phase1!

Regards,
Great job! Suspension plans? I have a set of fox 2.5 adjustable coil overs with remote reservoirs and a set of raptor performance group uca's for sale. They are for F-150 but will allow extra clearance for larger tires and greatly increase ride and performance. They will allow you to run 37's. As they allow me to run Toyo mt 35's with stock f150 fenders with np.

You don't have to use a Raptor take out, it's just the cheapest 'extra wide' assembly. It's like 6k for a custom unit of any strength.
Sorry, but what is the "Raptor take out"? Because I'm looking to do the same conversion but need an extra 3" of width, I just don't know how to get it (cheaply). Any advice? Thanks!

Factory Raptor rear diff/axle assembly

Contact the Raptor shops, there are usually one or two stock units laying around.

They look pretty damn good in my opinion.

Nice job!
What is the suspension type you had mount on your built?

Default Raptor suspension

Last summer, I finally put a hand on a complete front Raptor suspension. This was an easy fit. Now I can go forward with my 37" tires. And even at the bottom perch, there is no rub at all. I love it!
