I picked up a set of Raptor take-offs today. While my ReadyLift 3/2" is in the mail, I couldn't resist the urge to test fit them with the stock suspension.
To my surprise, they fit pretty well all around. The front tires rub the inner fender liner but only at full lock. The rear passenger side made contact with the fender liner as soon as I bolted it up. Nothing a little ingenuity couldn't solve (see below). The driver's side rear didn't rub at all. The 17" wheels clear the calipers and lower ball joint just fine. Tires fully clear the upper control arms.
Once the lift is installed I expect all rubbing issues to be resolved. I didn't (and won't) be testing OEM suspension articulation with these installed. I'd guess it would reveal other rubbing issues, but for day-to-day driving on paved roads, there's really no clearance issues as long as you avoid full steering lock.
I'm loving the look and can't wait to lift it! Unfortunately, while my lift will be delivered tomorrow, I'm traveling for business next week. So I won't get around to installing the lift for another week or two.
