Yes, for science! :)

Probably one of the best for fuel economy, traction, tread life and noise. Top tier

Bigger question is what size tires will you plan to run? Stock then no big deal. 33-35" tire then you want the locking differential for the larger CV Axles and Front Differential. It will cost WAY WAY more to swap the differential / CV axles down the road if / when you want larger tires...

That isn't true. It always knows where it is unless calibration is dropped. That does not change regardless of lift or drop. This is because the ride height sensor is not changed or altered. Only difference is the starting ride height baseline. But then you'd need to recalibrate it if...

Don't need to do this. Leave it alone. Ours has been lifted for 2 years with no "calibration" no errors. Works properly

It's not necessary at all. We have an adjustable panhard bar on the Raptor and the alignment shop said it was not worth adjusting as it was in range. Our 2dr has the drop bracket which does help compensate but again axle or pinion isn't off enough to matter (3-3.5" lift).

Don't waste money on the rear links. Unless you damage one. There is zero benefits other than less money in your bank and more maintenance. Links do not limit travel but sway bars and shocks / coilovers do unless going past the range of Icon who truly maxed out all available range unless...

Nitto Recon grappler 37x11.5r17 I really like the Ko3 35x11.5r17. This might be the most versatile tire for weight, size, mpg and capapabilty. There are very few if any obstacles that a good driver on 35s can overcome compared to an average driver on 37s. Raptor will likely get the ko3 37s...

And someone who wasted money on Bilstein crap... We have over $30k into the 2dr in upgrades and it doesn't hold a candle to the Raptor except being a 2dr manual.

Option C - Icon Suspension CDEV gives the most travel, setup for 37s with bump stop spacer added (no rubbing), no need for sway bars (actively adjusts valving). Problem with Hoss 3.0 is they are not valved for the weight of most 37 wheel / tire combos. If attempting this route: light weight...

Ko3 is the highest quality with the most technology. BFG has put in the development engineering, innovation and testing. Most competitors try to rip off design features but lack the quality. Carcass construction for flexibility, strength and weight balance based on decades of data and...

I don't see it. But I guess if you carry a spare and don't mind swapping tires... solid choice.

Seems the BFG has lost cool guy popularity somehow... Strange as the ko3 has been significantly improved from the ko2. For a tire seeing all uses (on/off road) this is the one to beat. BFG is owned by Michelin (most innovative, highest quality tire company in the world). BFG more or less...

For towing you may think a truck is best, but is it? While trucks can be the best for the purpose of towing, they don’t do many other functions as well as other vehicles. Think about comfort, fuel economy, maneuverability and off road capability. Everything is a tradeoff. Our Raptor Bronco is...

That's the way of aftermarket... go OME for longevity. Most aftermarket only focuses on strength with little real world testing with claims to be the best or indestructible. Problem is they don't know what they don't know. Often parts are noisy and wear out quickly regardless of use. Big...
