Pro Comp
Stage 1 Lift Kit $2500,
Stage 2 Upgrade with MX6R Reservoir Rear Shocks $1600
total $4100

Get me going?
You spent $4100 on a stage 2 Pro Comp kit :o


lol. shoulda saved urself alot of headache and taken that cash and went sfa. ifs is WAY too sketchy especially for that much $. enjoy replacin cvs and steering compenents for the rest of your trucks life



some people would rather have a sfa but dont want the diesel. and what are you going to do?...buy a 250 with a 5.4 in it. i think it would be a little bit underpowered especially once all the tires are put on

Opinions are like assholes buddy, everybody has one. I know lots of people who run different set ups and the only problem I have ever heard from Pro Comp is a bad set of steering knuckles and Pro Comp sent new ones and covered the labor at a local 4 Wheel Parts location.

Having to replace CV's and Steering Components prematurely is something you may have to deal with when you lift a truck but you are going to have that problem with all lifts and "for the life of your truck" is a really weak statement. Once in the life of my truck isn't bad at all, if you are trying to slander a good product at least try and use correct derogatory statements.


:o so your tryin to tell me that a lifted truck with ifs is more durable and will require just as much maintenance as a sfa with a 4 link suspension? or even just leaf packs? really? :rofl: no. but ur correct i reckon replacin a steering knuckle is no huge issue....k. and just so you know, you will replace many more cvs and other components (i.e. ball joints) more than just once. the stock components just arent built to last with that much weight and stress. go ahead and try to be hard headed and say your point, everybody has opinoins, yours just happen to be wrong.

ps- i wasnt bashing pro comp. they make a good product. im just sayin for the cash i would of gone a different route

Other than the "fancy fox suspension" (that I can't find any specifics on...) there is no difference between the FX4 and the Raptor. Same double wishbone in the front and coil over w leaf in the rear. Gear ratios, turning radius, HP, tourque, etc. are all the same as the FX4. I could take my truck to a off road racing shop, and spend about 5-8 grand and be out performing a Raptor in every aspect.

Dream on. You can't out perform something if you don't know what makes it perform in the first place.

um....ive driven it and stand by every word that ive said in this tread. i agree it needs work to surpass it but its easily acheivable. like i said before, im not knockin on the raptor. its a great production line vehicle but that doesnt mean id buy one just for the performance when it isnt the end all of all baja racers. just like if i bought a jeep i wouldnt buy the rubicon just becuase it comes with the d44 front and rear and the 4:1 t case. i would buy a standard issue jeep and build it with 1 tons and drop the crawl ratio that will FAR surpass the ruby's. itll be about the same price and be A LOT more capable than a rubicon (which is already a great trail vehichle just like the raptor is for the class it was built for) and have a wider stance and a lot more accessories for all the same price that u would go spend on a ruby. all is the same in the case of the raptor. just my 2 cents
