Why waist the time starting with a raptor!?!

Approximatly half way between what a raptor is, and what they have here is what it should be for $50,000!

the problem only occured on raptors with aftermarket softer leaf springs in the rear which caused the bump stop to bottom out on the frame and it would bend. its not a common issue. but the same company that makes those leaf springs also now makes braces and different bump stops to compensate for this. it makes it a softer ride when going 90+mph over the rough ground there is 2 videos of the guys who had the frame bend slightly and one guy hit a cattle guard at 92mph the other guy got 3-4ft of air on a jump and came down hard.

This information is false. I know of at least one truck locally that already has a bent frame. The truck is 100% bone stock besides headers. It was lightly offroaded one time, on a short jaunt, and it has a bent frame.

Of course this will never be a problem for the typical Raptor owner, mall-crawling will not bend the frame.
