There was more room to go from a speed standpoint but this was running in 2WD and I want to get the swaybar auto-reconnect "feature" disabled so I can get more wheel travel out of the fronts. 4WD is not required in many of these straight line appraoches on the whoops so I wasn't running it at...

They positioned the bypass shocks in front of the coilovers to better support the vehicle closer to the axle by reducing leverage/stress as well as design/fitment purposes. The valving, overall geometry, motion ratios, and tuning seem to generally make the front/back positioning less important...

5/14/2026 Update - New Videos & Updates APG posted a longer-form YouTube video featuring the suspension install, videos of the Brap on whoops, etc: Here's another clip posted by APG in an instagram reel: I had the Braptor out at Raptors on the Rocks in Moab, Utah this past week for my...

5/14/2026 Project Update (Now running the Megazilla 7.3L V8): In January 2026 I had the suspension updated (detailed here) and took the Braptor out to Johnson Valley, CA for some shakedown runs for the suspension to eventually find out the 10R80 transmission imploded for reasons that are...

Thanks I went through and edited my post to correct this as it was picked up in error from the AI summary. I also corrected an AI summary error in which the LLM had not learned that Ford originally misprinted the Ranger Raptor axle ratios front and rear in the original Ford Ranger Raptor...

Yeah that was me - originally thought we would need to use the Ranger t-case but didn't, kept the Braptor t-case and just needed the electronic shifter from the Ranger. On paper, I agree on power output. But the torque is immediate, so it's more about when/where power peaks with the Godzilla...

If your tires are not leaving the ground at high speeds (jumps or whoops) then you'll be just fine with the suspension! My Braptor was fine with street / highway / rock crawling /trails at moderate speed with the Godzilla and running 40's. It's the high speed whoops and jumps where the extra...

Jeff is solid, he'll get you squared away with the new location in Michigan. For you, the main thing is I don't know if anyone else has done a Godzilla conversion in a Ranger Raptor, yet, so being the guinnea pig means there will be nuances on this first conversion that will add to the time of...

I'm not sure the particulars of what you got listed as Stage 1 vs. Stage 2. My Godzilla has a Stage 2 cam and dyno'd at 443hp and 492 lb-ft torque at rear wheels on 37" OEM tires/wheels. My Brap is with Stamperbuilt (Justin) right now, he was part of Juicy Motorsports when I first had the...

I got 14mpg on the highway cruising at 70mph for a couple hours on 40's with 4.70 gearing. My Braptor weighs 7,000 lbs as well with all gear and tires. I've recently switched to 5.38 gears and don't drive it in a way to intentionally optimize for fuel economy. Trail riding, jumps, whoops, and...

Not sure what news you're looking for beyond what's covered in this post but I'm happy to answer any additional questions.

I'm not sure what it was stock, height wise as I didn't have the Brap stock for very long when I bought it and didn't think of taking measurements at the time. But I did do some wheel well measurements (after the APG Fenders were on) when I had Hyperco 2" coils installed. There was 10" of...

12/23/2025 Update - Suspension is completely installed The suspension is completely installed and did the first shakedown run in Johnson Valley.

@SierraBronco Video of the Dana 60 rearend installed with coilovers and bumpstops. Bypasses are still not in. You can see the upper link installed in the passenger rear -- it's tight around the gas tank, but no gas tank modifications needed. And while we're at it, a profile shot of the rear:

Good call. I had the Foutz lockouts previously, never had alignment issues with all the jumping on 40's. Will add this to the list to double-check.
