Hi everyone, I'm in a weird spot. My 2018 F-150 5.0 V8 is being bought back by Ford, and I need to get a new truck. I am having an oil consumption issue with the coyote engine. Anyways, I have always wanted a Raptor and this may be the time to pull the trigger on one.
My main question is about payload: I like to go camping and I ordered a new Four Wheel Camper Raven to fit my v8 F-150. The raven will be about 1,374 lbs wet. Adding people and gear nets a rough total of 2000 lbs. Raptors are rated for 1,200 lbs of payload leaving me over weight by roughly 800lbs give or take some pizza slices.
I see that Deaver makes HD spring packs, sumosprings and timbren make bumpstop kits, and there are folks running SVC/rogue/rpg hydro bump kits. Anyone running a similar camper or carrying overweight payloads off-road? I am not open to airbags.
Most of the time this truck will be my daily driver and baby hauler, however I hope to camp 15-40 nights a year with the slide-in. Attached a few photos to give you an idea of what I’m getting. Would love to avoid an F-250 because I see similarly loaded Tacomas and Tundras like this all the time. Thanks!
