Purchased my ‘23 Bronco Raptor at the end of December.

They wanted it gone, I was ready to move on from my F250 Tremor but not interested in Raptor R “40k mark ups”.

love that JUMP... WOW!

Im just curious if that jump would be possible with a stock set up?

Does that extra lift gives you much noticeable more ground clearance?

Not really in terms of the perch collars but after the jump I’m going to hold off on 39s - I think those might blow out the fenders

Thirstiest vehicle I’ve ever owned, nothing even close lol
when I take my street/track car on track it goes from 23 mpg to 8 lol. Wait until you put a better tire on the braptor it will knock it down another 1.5 mpg.

Ford Bronco BOWSER ….. SMILES PER GALLON ?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP


Edit: Seeing that the kids named it maybe more like this
?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.jpg


Congrats. Looks like you are enjoying it 🤠

Installed @Diabolical Inc slipstream last week. I had my Powertank loaded but heading to Big Bear this weekend so switched it up a little and loaded Maxtrax Extreme recovery boards (holdover from my F250 - pretty glad as I couldn’t figure out how to carry them other than roof rack)

.

Both will fit but loading a large Dry bag as well that has a portable compressor.

Went together easily for the most part following the instructions.

Molle panels still to install but they require rivets and I can’t find my rivet gun lol
