This can be a common problem...

My brother has had a few of them at his body shop.

The Raptor has the same frame as any other F150 of the same model year, so if I had this problem with a Raptor, I would have the same problem with any F150. Does that mean the F150 needs to be taken off the list of potential new truck purchases?

YES :lol:

YES :lol:

From what I have read the reason this is happening is because people are running aftermarket spring that remove a key component of the suspension. Which is suppose to prevent this from happening and if it not there it cant :lol::dunno:

They are alright, but most of them are mall cruisers

I would get a GMC Sierra with a 6.2L and have BB take a look at it :D

Ask Michael (Darkanion), do judge him by his current vehicle though :jester:

I would cruise the sh!t out of a mall if I had a Raptor.

Ha ha Hell Nah. This is a non-minivan family. Even if I ever liked the idea of one I still could not. I have talked way to much crap to friends that bought mini vans over the years, no.

Buddy of mine though, I feel for him. He had s Siena and for whatever reason after 3 engines (Lemon) he traded it in on a Nissan Tuscan? little crossover. He then found out he was having twins so he went from anticipating a 2 kid family to 3...

Ouch! Yeah, when you two start popping out more kids, I bet a minivan comes into the picture, too.. :lol:

I've been over on the Raptor forum reading about this. It looks like there were a lot more Raptors that got a bent frame with stock suspension than there were Raptors with aftermarket springs that got a bent frame. Looks like Ford has a problem with their F150 frame.

Several people on the other forum mention aftermarket fixes for the frame problem. Anyone know if they really work?

None the less it shouldn't happen period. :ohnoes: I say look into something else being the Raptors are having so many serious problems. I passes over 5-6 today and they were fine all black idk why but fine so who knows. Being a Street truck it would probably be fine

That frame is not going to be an issue. That is as long as you don't use it as it's advertised. Keep it on the street and don't run over any curbs it will great:thumbs:
