    Mr. Lahey, obviously boxing the frame and adding tube supports will strengthen it, but fuck why turn out something as flawed as the retarded raptor? On an additional note, did you guys know their lt kits are upwards of 10k? I don't get how 3/16 steel can cost that much

    How did they work for you? Ever bottom the hydros out? Ever feel the need to run rubber as well? I'm worried about them bottoming out over hard front end hits, and having metal on metal contact.

    Lol sorry, I've had some drinks. I called you mr lahey for obvious reasons and I was comparing the tundras rear flex to the raptors known flaw for bending at the cab . Then I was pointing out the extreme cost to long travel a truck that should already have it from factory sales point

    Cheers brother, and to the pervious post before the raptors frame bends at the cab after using it off road for about an hour, it's the impact fail safe however it flaws the truck for any intended purposes
