There doesn’t seem to be any of the height issues we had heard about on the line. That Raptor looks to have its suspension set as it would be for delivery.

I thought it was a width issue with paint, that's why they went with the all rubber flares?

The paint booth width is why the 1/4 panels are not pushed out more like they are on the F150 Raptor and they need grande sized flairs. But there is a bolt setup on the suspension to cause it to squat down most of the line. A separate station is setup to remove this bolt returning to normal stance. That may happen before it’s time in front of the camera.

Is that a Sas OBX behind it? It kinda gives some perspective on height compared to SAS as well.

Might be, horrible angle for perspective on height though.

What's the difference between the two pictures? I looks to be in the same spot.

At dealer. Picking it up at dealer 10/8. Could earlier but my schedule is busy. Getting a quote to get it clear wrapped on all the paint. Anyone else doing/considering protective wrap?

I Plan on it but still waiting for my 10/21 build date. I had two quotes by quality shops in Northern California for Xpel. They will cover every painted surface and headlights, removing and replacing any and every thing necessary. Both were right at $7k. That’s s lot of cheese, so still not sure I’ll do it.

Also considering doing Stealth on my code orange paint. I’ll have to see the Stealth over the orange before I can pull that trigger though.
