I chose not to remove the wheel, so the wheel well liner would sit on it and not bend farther than necessary. I didn’t want to drill the rear rivets to completely remove the liner.
My floor jack shows a 24” lift, and had no problem lifting the tire while under the frame lower control arm mount.
I ordered my kit from ford with points from truck purchase.
My only addition after doing the passenger side is that jacking the truck up gives significantly more room to work. It allows you more space to make sure the drill is centered on the rivet too.
I used a floor jack under the...

Nothing too significant here.
I will get a second set of stock non-beadlocks for a winter wheel set. Tires will be nokian hakkapeliitta in the factory size.
I love the appearance of the factory wheels other than the tuck, but will keep that as I drive quite a bit of gravel and don’t want to...
Loosen 2 8mm head bolts, move latch, tighten bolts.
I slid it up about 1/8”. Was still hard to close. Tried 1/4”. Closes with a one foot-ish drop. Good enough for me and body lines still match perfect.
Bolts are a bit awkward to get to without removing the trim. I used a ratcheting wrench on...
Long range America imports aussie tanks. Not sure which manufacturer.
I’m waiting for the raptor tanks to arrive and confirm fitment, but will be installing one asap.
Just did the drivers side of mine tonight. Much the same experience.
Had to completely remove flare as the flare clips pulled off flare instead of body.
Had a few of the plastic rivets break when the center wouldn’t back out with screwdriver. Was a nice pile included in hardware bag with kit...
The m2 cam addition for the blendmount just replaces one of the adjustment bolts with a longer one to mount the cam on. Maybe you could fab a way to bolt part of the cam mount to the detector mount. That way only one mirror stem clamp is needed.
My blendmount arrives today. Not sure I’ll have...
Ordered it unseen, absolutely love it.
Carbonized gray was alternative choice.
Haven’t decided yet on raptor decals, but leaning toward remove. Bit too much pop with white outline.
Baja mode selects 4h, but you can put it back to 2h.
Running gravel in baja 2h is an absolute smile fest with the anti lag and trans keeping revs up. It will hang sideways in every corner, especially if you disable stability.
4h allows you to accelerate out much more effectively though.
Mine is listed on window sticker, but I haven’t found it. Dealer said they will get one ordered. I’m just trying to make sure i’m not missing it somewhere.
