I bought it.
I'm not going to sink a ton of $$ for a suspension kit.
I do want to level it though. Probably add a leveling spacer that goes above the strut. I can get one from Skyjacker for about $128.00. I have (2) Skyjacker 3-inch kits I bought for my 2004 (ended up with an extra one) but never used. They have a rear add a leaf, new front coil springs and struts. Skyjacker stopped producing that kit because the struts/shocks were known to leak. They were based on Skyjackers Big Gas shocks or whatever they were called that Skyjacker offered for a little while. I tried looking up info online about those old kits to see what I could find, but didn't find anything. I have those shocks on my '96 Ranger and have never had a problem with them. I'm tempted to stick them on to see how it works and if I have a problem then I'll just put the factory parts back on with a spacer. I already paid for the old 3-inch kit and it's never been used.
I want to add something to the front big enough to hold (2) chrome offroad lights to help me see on the back roads late at night.
Basically, it would just be minor upgrades here and there. I thought of a body lift after adding the leveling kit, but then I'd need new tires to fill the space. I may do that later when I'm ready to replace the tires.
As far as waiting until the warranty runs out, I'd have to wait until I hit 75,000 miles. The truck came with something like a 5-year 50,000 mile warranty and for $12 a month I extended it out to 75,000. I've had some less than good transmission experiences in the past.
I like the Raptor, but you have to order it and as far as I know there wasn't any incentives for people buying one. Plus, the good motor is the 6.2L and that won't be out until next year. Right now it has the same motor mine does.
