Raptors are built to completely dominate rough terrain at high speeds and they do it well... or at least well enough for most people. Of course we here at Stage 3 wouldn't be satisfied until we'd amped up our Raptor's suspension to the point where it was virtually unstoppable. We bolted on a set of new Fox 3.0 Coilovers and shocks as well as new Method wheels and Nitto tires.
Fox 3.0 Complete Shock Kit
To get the absolute best suspension performance possible we installed Fox 3.0 Coilovers with reservoirs on the front of our Raptor and Fox 3.0 Shocks with reservoirs on the rear. The FOX 3.0 system features large-diameter shocks with internal bypasses and remote reservoirs that all work together to eliminate fade during heavy and sustained suspension articulation. These coilovers and shocks are direct replacements for the Raptor's factory suspension so the install is simple. Along with the Fox setup we also added Total Chaos Upper Control Arms. Unfortunately we don't offer these on our website, but we do have some other equally great control arm options from Icon, Camburg, Fabtech and more!

35/12.50R17LT Nitto Trail Grapplers
Probably one of the quickest ways to improve the off-road capability of any truck is to swap out the tires, so that's exactly what we did. The BFG all-terrains that were on our Raptor were great tires, but we still wanted to jump into something that was larger and more aggressive. We chose to run a set of 35/12.50R17LT Nitto Trail Grapplers which had the tough, bulky tread we were looking for. 35/12.50R17LT Nitto Trail Grappler Tires
17x8.5" Method NV Wheels
One of the best wheel brands in the business is Method and it's not hard to see why. We installed a set of their black NV wheels on our Raptor build to create a meaner and more rugged look. These wheels are manufactured using a low-pressure aluminum casting technique that makes them strong and durable enough for practically any application but lighter than our original wheels. 17x8.5" Method NV Wheels (Black)
