10 Raptor gone....In with the 11 crew

I haven't been on in a while, but figured I would share some pics of my screw raptor so far. It has the front leveled, 5% tint, method wheels with general grabbers, afe intake, and sct custom tuned by 5 star tuning. I haven't had time to take good pics yet but here are some crappy cell pics. I'll update the thread as I mod it some more.
After the level

Before the level

The Raptors I am sure are a nice truck, after all they are a ford F150, but the looks of them don't do a damned thing for me. I find those graphics hideous.
On a good note. I suspect that what there built to be able to do they probably do it very well.
Enjoy your new ride. I believe it is the first Raptor supercrew I have seen.

Nice truck, did the level kit alter the ride at all?

Yeah, got any tips on removing it.

It is a very comfortable truck. It rides quite a bit better than most people think. I have jumped mine pretty good and it handled it well. The power from the big 6.2 is great. Though the mileage leaves something to be desired. You don't buy one of these trucks thinking you are getting mileage out of it.

I did the perch adjustment to the stock shocks, and yes it did make it slightly stiffer, but in a good way. It handles corners and hard braking bettter. In stock form it's a little soft and dives.

What are your grounds for your opinion? Do you know what the truck is used for? Have you had both of them? If not then don't make comments without facts to back them up. Thanks!

You've got to be kidding. Those new grabbers are highly sought after and make BFG A/T's look like mini van tires

PS- Awesome looking truck so far.....I wouldn't chose the decals for myself but all your mods look deadly!

Thanks guys! Main reason I got the graphics is 1 it makes the screw look shorter and 2 white just looks though my color of choice just looks like a work truck without. As far as the generals I'll take them over the bfgs anyday.

I think your truck looks fantastic. Is the front of your truck sitting higher than the rear, in the pic it looks that way. Other than that I think your truck is perfect, im partial to white vehicles accented in black. Ill look for it next time im over in St. Marys County, a few of my co-workers live over that way.
