I say it depends on area you live in and patience in the build. last time I commented on a video of yours I was finishing up my 11th gen f150 that total was below 2000 for complete suspension and 6 methods. nearly everything used except lowers. just last week I got stupid lucky and got a full front suspension off a gen 2 spindles, ucas, lca, tie rods for both sides for 500. these will go on my gen 2 Expedition I had previously purchased a set of gen 2 coils like 6 months ago for 200 bucks. like I said patience and area is key in cost. love your build and videos stay up.
@@NSQGarage I don't have any social media. I'm on ranger5g, but as far as Instagram and Facebook I deleted my accounts like 3 years ago. I have thought about youtube documenting my expedition raptor swap since there is literally nothing on the net for it.
@@evenflo75 How is it set up? TSW offroad has 2 builds for expy's right now. Only front end swapped. Oem 2.5's in the rear. In my mind the Raptor front coilovers could somehow be fitted to the rear of the expy with enough tinkering.
@@Ballen9494 from what I've seen there is one other guy that done it. he did it with all gen 1 stuff and it was all direct bolt on front and rear. rear was only coilovers. I plan on doing gen 2 front coilovers I will have to cut and redo the top hat ill be using somewhat of a template I copied from the khc I used for my f150. only difference is the expedition top hat is wider. the guy is seen do it is actually selling his for like 4k. on parts I've already collected I've spent 500 for full front ucas,lcas, tie rods, another 300 on gen 2 coilovers in great condition and 200 on gen 1 front coilovers. I live in so cal Inland Empire.
They are the same OEM ones that my truck has originally. I actually need to replace them. You could probably pick up used ones from a junk yard. New ones you can get off of tascaparts
Counterpoint would be, you could run your stock wheels and whenever your stock tires wear out, get 35s...some people would have 17s or 18s stock. Could always run a spacer too
@@Jeepstermanny I don't think you can run 37s without running into issues. I think it is covered in the raptor forums pretty well. So you might want to check there
I like your other web page tabs.
Thanks for being the first to notice you nerd lol

Hey brother enjoying the videos! Im almost done doing the fiberglass bedside to an 11th gen f150 was wonder were did you get the bedside top moldings?
They are the same OEM ones that my truck has originally. I actually need to replace them. You could probably pick up used ones from a junk yard. New ones you can get off of tascaparts
What size rear spacer would you use to match the width of the raptor front suspension?
3 inch for the gen 1s. The others might be the same, but I'm not positive
What’s the raptor swap page are you referring to?
Raptor swapped f150s on Facebook
do you need to replace sway bar or it fits from f150 ?
They are different sway bar with different styles of links. If you want to run a sway bar, you will need a raptor one
@@NSQGarage Can you tell what are difference? i know that links are different, but sway bar itself i couldn't find any pictures comparing two.
Your spreadsheet appears to leave off the cost of 4-5 35in tires and accompanying 17in wheels
Fair point. I guess I forgot cuz I did those so long ago.
Counterpoint would be, you could run your stock wheels and whenever your stock tires wear out, get 35s...some people would have 17s or 18s stock. Could always run a spacer too
Love the truck man. I’m debating on doing this to mine. Do you think you could run 37s now that you have the front and back fenders?
@@Jeepstermanny I don't think you can run 37s without running into issues. I think it is covered in the raptor forums pretty well. So you might want to check there
@@NSQGarage yeah after you mentioned it in your video I have been combing through the forum. Thank you sir. The fraptor turned out sweet!
How was bumper conversion ?
Yeah I guess that wasn't included in the cost....I had fabbed one before I did the swap
