Take that lift off and I guarantee it will be a different story with the ride and handling of the raptor vs the f150 build. That spacer lift on top of the raptors suspension is killing it because the geometry of the suspension is all changed now. Just my 2cents Great trucks and review 👍
Six inch lift on the raptor? What a way to f up the truck. They are complaining about the raptor ride? They completely changed the suspension and its on 37" tires. What a bunch of clowns.
I came here to say that, thank you for noticing. It takes a special kind of stupid to ruin the Raptor's performance by lifting it... increased center of gravity height (lots of problems here if I were to elaborate), decreased up travel, shock valving is messed up, front/back weight distribution is altered, and overall $millions$ of Ford Performance research and engineering thrown out the window.
I'm a Ford technician, I regularly drive f150s and raptors. I own a 15 f150. Im not a fan of how raptors drive. My truck with Rancho quick lift, rs9000xl shocks and a add a leaf in the rear in my opinion drives better on and off road than raptors. I have yet to drive a new raptor with the active fox shocks tho
Sorry you guys didn't build the ultimate F-150, you just ruined the Raptor with that garbage lift kit and heavier tires...let me guess...there is now a 4" rear block?...how about the tires?, are the Load Range "E"?...basically every mod on that Raptor ruined it's performance over the smaller sharp edge rocks and bumps. A real suspension kit would have replaced the worse part of a stock Raptor...the rear springs and factory 2" blocks. Run that road again with a bone stock Raptor and you will immediately feel the difference. BTW the Raptor does float a bit and you do feel more isolated from the road, BUT that's what you get with a long travel truck, if you've never been in a real long travel truck set up for off road then you would not know what to expect and why... All that aside, I do enjoy this channel and you guys do some cool installs...Thanks....AND one final thing...yes I do own a 18' Raptor.. :)
Invalid test. With a 6-inch bracket lift and 37s the suspension in the raptor is not functioning like it did factory, it will work incorrectly. The center of gravity has been raised substantially, most likely counteracting the Raptors width advantage.
some F150s have stiffer rated springs. Seems like also putting the softest rated springs with the Fox suspension may be the best way to go for these?? I'm looking at trying to figure out some ways to make the suspension better on these trucks, cuz the ride on these is like you feel every single bump, the suspension doesn't absorb anything in a stock F150
Fellas, I love the content and the idea. I was reading through the past comments from a year or so back. I have to say you should have did the comparison with your F150 and a stock raptor. After that you could go to the next follow on stages. If you still have you F150 do the show again with a stock Raptor. That will definitely give us viewers what we are asking for. Again thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was still informative and I am pretty sure all of the viewers that own Raptors are not going to use the fabtec 6" lift lol. Keep up the great work. Active Duty viewer / Aircraft Engineer / Avid off roader and fabricator
you didn't build the ultimate f-150. you just butchered it with a 6" lift which negates the raptor's suspension. you can fit 37" in a gen 2 raptor without 6" lift.
It looks like you guys are driving in paved roads. I would drive my old stock 2009 Silverado on those roads at that speed and experience the same ride.
We have towed an open and an enclosed car trailer with this truck many times and it did just fine. We added a set of these Timbren rubber springs and made it tow like an absolute champ, virtually eliminated rear squat and sag. www.cjponyparts.com/timbren-ses-suspension-upgrade-rear-f-150-2015-2018/p/FR1504E/
CJ Off-Road awesome thanks for quick response. So to be clear with this suspension upgrade shouldn’t have issues with 6k trailer towing. Or this setup up plus Timbren rubber springs need to be added
It depends how much weight is on the tongue. But you should be ok if the weight is properly distributed. I will strongly recommend getting the timbren springs though, it makes a world of difference, theyre cheap and easy to install and you dont have to worry about filling them with air or anything.
that green shirt dude, you need to put your seat back up and raise up your seat in the raptor. it looks like you can't even see the hood of the truck from our view.
This video series is for the person who doesnt have the coin for a Raptor, or already has an F150 and wants to modify it, or wants the towing capability of the F150.
the lift on the raptor is why your ride is so damn stiff...smh...should have just bought a base F150 and put a BDS suspension on it... Terrible comparison.
Correction...
The Raptor WAS a better truck, until someone destroyed it with a crap lift.
Could be!
6" lift seriously you ruined the raptor
Could you please make the same comparison video between the F150 and a stock Raptor?
They ruined the raptor with that lift ):

Why would you buy a raptor and take away one of its best features.

We were not complaining about the Raptor it still an amazing truck.
Because we wanted to install a lift and Fab-Tech was gracious enough to give us one so we could do an install video for you guys.
@@CJBroncoF150 Good job handling those duch bags maturely. I'm a fan!
You should buy the F and the R for the 150 aftermarket grill.
Who puts a 6 inch lift on a raptor? Smfh..
Well if you want 37s to squeeze under there
What suspension with the 6"

Maybe the same kind of guy who jumps a Rapture and nearly totals it.

hopefully you aren't referring to the capability of your truck being more than the raptor, just your ride being better.
How does the Roush differ from regular Fox 2.0 ?

Good video
Helps us F150 owners with choosing our upgrades, since we like to get the most out of our hard earned money.
Thanks
Thank! We are glad to help out, if you have any questions or need help finding parts let us know :)

How does the Roush fox suspension setup and adding the Mickey Thompson wheels and tires effect the towing capacity ??

CJ Off-Road awesome thanks for quick response. Can’t wait to get my 2019 f 150. Going to be ordering a mini warehouse of parts lol
Awesome! You will love the truck! Let us know if we can help you when you start shopping for parts 😎
Why would you ruin a Raptor with a crap 6” lift?
Are those the Roush by Fox 2.0 shocks ?
Should have used a stock Raptor for comparison
Tow haul mode?
Thank you! Someone else notices...
Ребятки, сколько стоит такой зверь?

Great and fun video! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
dood vs a RAPTOR
I mean no offensive, would it not be better to just go buy a actual raptor? Just a thought.
This video series is for the person who doesnt have the coin for a Raptor, or already has an F150 and wants to modify it, or wants the towing capability of the F150.
@@CJBroncoF150 must be a big market for fraptors....people talk crap about Raptors and then try and duplicate them because they can't afford one.
Put the BDS suspension 6" lift in the raptor and get rid of that shitty fabtech suspension.
Fox is awesome.
lifting a raptor would ruin the suspension geometry.
lifting any truck messes with the suspension geometry
theres your seat belts
wheres your seat belt boys
the lift on the raptor is why your ride is so damn stiff...smh...should have just bought a base F150 and put a BDS suspension on it...
Terrible comparison.
No.
People are dumb.
