SlowFX4,
Are you talking of a rear Raptor fender set? Or the rear Axle?

Nice progress so far, and I'm not sure why anyone would swap to the 6.2 IMO I think the Ecoboost has some nice potential in a raptor truck!

And yet they are doubling production to keep up with demand.

Raptors - 6.2 is the only option right now. After the break we are expecting at least the option of an Ecoboost in the Gen 2 Raptor for 2016.

SLOWFX4,
Concerning the rear axle, it would be a great project to install the real Raptor end. Perhaps, I'm not sure what this may involve? Since it's not the same ratio, I would need also replace the front transfer case with the torsen differential and it's specific control box? I don't know if anybody on this Forum had done this?

You just swap in the rear assembly - very easy. If you want 4.10:1 the you install a ring and pinion in the front. No need to touch the transfer case and a Torsen is not a requirement - it's a type, like a posi, limited slip, etc...
