Looks really good. If I saw that coming down the road Id be confused as crap trying to figure out if that was really a lifted raptor lol... It looks sweet, and having a BL myself, I understand the concept he went with: He's got some of the best suspension components under that thing, but if he wants to put bigger tires on it (and it looks like he put 36" super swampers) you need a little more lift. Given there's no suspension mods for the raptor (that I know of) BL sounds like a good idea. And he fit those tires in there very well. It looks very sturdy and looks like it could handle a lot. Personally, I feel that I use my body lifted truck with a level kit and aal a lot more than many people's full suspension lifted truck. I realize that's their money and their truck and they can do what they want to with it. And TBH I would probably have to lift any truck I own. But I will actually use the lift for offroad as well as my DD. I just didnt have money to do a full suspension lift when I lifted mine. Now that I've installed a lift myself, I wish I'd of just bought and installed the suspension lift myself instead of buying and paying for install of the body lift.

Bottom line, body lifts are very practical and can look very good if done right. From that one pic, looks like he did it right.

IMO he messed up the truck. The idea of a raptor is to have a low, wide desert runner. Lifting it up raises the COG and messes with everything. If he wanted a lifted f150 stick with a basic model. Again just my opinion, I know alot will disagree and say its his money etc etc etc

I agree, I m also against body lifts in general. If that Raptor is used as intended, the body lift spacers will most likely fail at some point. I have a lifted 09 fx4 and although I lust after the Raptor, if I had one I would not lift it. A lifted truck is a trail truck, a Raptor is a pre-runner "desert" truck. Thats my .02
