Ranger Raptor UCA and LCA fit Bronco?

[BigMeatsBronco]

I've been doing a bit of research and it appears the ranger raptor (produced in THAILAND for the past 3 yrs) has a very similar front A-arm arrangement!
The front diff is the same as well m210 d44.

From my reading, it appears the A-arms are 30mm wider on the ranger raptor. And would give an 2.4” wider track when installed on our broncos. I have the part numbers for these.

Anyone with any access to ranger raptor willing to climb under and take a few measurements before I order these like a Guinea pig.???

Others are getting over 12” of wheel travel with this setup and king shocks!!!

I was thinking about this as well. Fun Haver & RTR have both mention testing Bronco suspension components on the Ranger for R&D purposes. Where would you order these from?

This would be very interesting if it does indeed work. I'm assuming the raptor ranger has different pivot points than the standard ranger?

I have the part number and the source to purchase...but need to confirm the fit to the frame and the uprights. Obviously the lower shock mount is different too. I've been chatting with Loren Healy at Funhaver about this exact thing...seems no one is certain just yet.

I do know that the ranger raptor WMS is approximately 2.4” wider than the Bronco.

Genuine Ford parts would look good and likely not be noticed by a ”warranty rep”.

Did you ever do anything with this? Or still wanting too or did you get a definitive answer it not being possible?

the ranger raptor rollout has been super slow. Pretty certain we will find that these do indeed bolt on the Bronco.

Alternatively, since this yr old thread was started,
I have inspected and measured the front UCAs and LCAs on a Bronco Raptor, and it appears like the components will bolt on ....HOWEVER there may be an issue with the placement of the Braptors upper control arm mounting location, compared to the regular Bronco. I do have a solution in mind.

Also will obviously need longer tie rods and CVs as well.

I plan on tackling this after Moab, as it could be a lengthy process.
