I watched the new, gay, american top gear last night and they reviewed the new f150 raptor. The raptor claims to have 12 inches of travel. Good? Whats an average lifted jeep at?

It's more than what I have right now. I have 10" travel which is average for 4.5" lift. 8" average for 3-3.5" lift. So on.
factor in it has 2.5" internal bypass shocks and all sorts of goodness, and youre in good shape.- Will

12 in each direction is HUGE, like desert racer size, Lol.
12 overall is what the raptors stats are measured at, as well as any suspension in general- Will

youre not impressed with 12" suspension travel from the factory on a truck with 2.5" shocks with internal bypass?
youre a hard sell- Will

They are completely serviceable/rebuildable, no reason to buy a new shock ever reallyOriginally posted by wannabejeep View PostI feel bad for the asshole who buys one and has to get new shocks for it the first time. He'll be mutherfucking that truck so bad.
