I have been in one and they are a hoot, They have multiple traction settings too, and active decent control, they are truly an amazing piece of engineering. My truck is currently set up with Radflo's coilovers which are pretty similar to the fox set up on the raptor, It is an awesome feeling to run through huge bumps at 40+ and not feel a thing.

Yeah, I've got a small lift and larger than stock tires but I kept my flaps on. Also, anyone else annoyed with big trucks and HID bulbs that either aren't aimed properly or are not housed in a proper projector assembly?
The cops used to hound me for mudflaps, so then I bought my huge flaps you can see in my display pic and it blew up into a craze in my town, so many trucks have them now. They cops here are dic*s about mudflaps.

Is that a 7.3 or a 6.0? And are you running a programmer.

I'm just going to assume that you have checked out what Spartan has been doing with the 6.4

I actually almost bought a 6.4 p-stroke instead of my Z. If it wasn't for the fact that the new 6.7 powerstroke was about to come out I probably would have.
