Check out the featured thread on the roof rack "database", there is no difference between a Raptor and non-Raptor roof rack.

Congratulations, I guess.

Mabett makes front cap kits for A-arm bolts in nice clear anodized aluminum. Could you be thinking of this? Ping to @Mabett for a product idea here for Raptor/Rear.

Great work @OP. The hardware for the JCR is a mixture of black oxide coated steel and stainless steel. Also a vote for the format and type above.

Thanks for the time to investigate and share @raptorusmaximus .

So conflicted. Worried about pinstripes but won't do PPF. More ground clearance on a Raptor than many jeeps with 40s and claims of belly dragging. Claims of belly dragging but critical of 37s. Yeah you're right the Raptor isn't "proper". The best on the market at low and high speed wheeling...

Bump

I suspect the relatively low shock mounts are due to a combination of travel, packaging and desired handling characteristics. Many of the latter such as roll steer, axle wrap and understeer had targets to reach. More details here...

Rear Shock Mount Bolt Rehab/Protection: I noticed some rock damage to the bolts (threads) connecting the lower shock mount to the axle. These bolts just stick out too far into the "line of fire"... I thread filed the threads to rehab them and added some stainless acorn nuts for future...

I have some additional measurements (for Raptor). If one only needs to get a single wheel off the ground for changing, strokes are of course much smaller with alternative/non-standard jack placements. Location Max Jack Height Required Lift Frame 14" 10" Front Lower A-arm 10" 2" Rear...

This looks just like the one linked to above that doesn't really cut it. That's not a recommended jack location... Also what about the rear?

Thanks. I should have googled more. This doesn't work for the Raptor - need jacks stands and blocks... If has a mere 5" of stroke. The poor OP there bought 4 of these... https://www.broncoraptor.com/threads/jacking-for-tire-rotation-changing.1325/ A Raptor solution needs a 14" or shorter jacks...

I've only had to jack up my prior rig (4Runner) twice off roading. The factory jack, up on a flat support rock, was arduous but workable. I'm wondering if there is an upgraded solution from the Raptor factory jack that remains fairly minimalist while still being an upgrade? 1. Who has used the...

Come on guys, know your own product and get the details correct! These are made of steel not iron and these two are not synonyms...
