I'm really looking forward to seeing how this looks with the Raptor wheels!

Does this use the stock front shocks?
Yep, reuses the stock fronts by adding a spring seat preload spacer and an upper strut spacer. I'm going this route for now, and will upgrade once BDS/FOX releases their 3.5" lift 2.5 coilovers with remote reservoirs. :D

And... it's done! I'll be putting up an install video in a few days, but here's the end result. I'm pleased! :)

Looks soo sweet!! Love the BFG’s. I’m envisioning some Amp Power Steps in your future :). Had them on my F-150 and they were awesome. :thumbsup:

From what I was “told” by AMP Research. They will have a Part# out for them by the end of October.

That looks great!! I really wish the Raptor wheels offset was like that without the spacers/adaptors.

Did you have to use spacers with those wheels, if so why? And what size bfg's? Sorry for the questions but I really like that look!

Me too, but I bought quality hubcentric wheel spacers and used red loctite on em so they shouldn't be going anywhere.

Yep, I used 1.5" hubcentric wheel spacers since the BFGs are so much wider than the stock tire, they were REALLY close, and I mean, uncomfortably close to the spindle. So far there is only minimal rubbing on the passenger side rear intrusion beam at full lock with the steering wheel to the right when reversing. I have the BDS intrusion beams on order but apparently there's some supply issue that's delaying them. After those are on, rubbing will be a non-issue.

The BFGs I have are LT285/70/R17s, Load Range C, 116/113S and ordered them from Tirerack. They are the same tire thats on the Rest of the World Ranger Raptor.

The rims are also off of the Ranger Raptor and have the same offset and backspacing as stock. I really wanted them to poke out a bit more than stock, thus the spacers.
