    Congrats on the new truck. I picked mine up 2 weeks ago and haven't stopped smiling since.

    Welcome to the Gen 2 club!

    There's more and more coming out for these trucks weekly.

    Lights: there's a ton of options so it really comes down to what type of setup or look your going for. At the moment I've installed some FordRaptorLights.com lights in the bumper opening.
    Cold Air Intake: there's an ongoing thread on this running. Functionally they all do the same things. Cosmetically they look a little different. You'll see maybe 10-20 hp claimed gains. The limiting factor is the air is still coming through the OEM snorkel.

    Tunners: there's a handful out there as well as some programming that a few places offer. No expert in this but from what I've looked at so far, not going to do it but have chosen a different path to get the same result for a lot less. Yes, went with a Roush Cold Air Intake, stacked the JMS BoostMax with the Peddle Max (gives you a whole different Beast), next up will be the SPD turbo adapters. This is all plug and play, simple swap stuff and probably <$1500. In theory it should put me >550HP and >600trq.

    It all ready depends on what you want to do and how much $$$$ you want to spend. I've kept mine simple without making radicle changes and hence kept the expense down. You can do a tone of stuff and sink major bucks into your truck but until you deal with the tire limitations which is why the truck is limited to 108 mph i find myself asking how much more do i need to improve on and how often will it actually be used.

    Ok thanks for the info. I am interested in the path you are going, did you get it all from Roush? I just got off th phone with afe they say that their tuner and intake kit has not been tested with th 18' Raptors

    Intake: http://www.roushperformance.com/parts/ROUSH-2015-plus-Ecoboost-V6-F150-Cold-Air-Intake.html $410 15+ HP
    JMS BoostMax: http://www.jmschip.com/boostmax-wor...gine-adds-additional-boost-power-and-economy/ $310 50+ hp
    JMS PeddleMax: http://www.jmschip.com/copy-of-peda...esponse-works-on-all-2011-2017-ford-vehicles/ $290 fixes throttle response and shifting
    Turbo Adaptors: http://www.spdperformance.com/index...ducts_id=121&zenid=dd0uv9qgq836qh95ei76h208h2 $120 30+ hp

    So for $1,130 you get conservatively about 100hp gain. All of which should be warranty friendly.

    Granted, let me be clear. This is just the setup i went with and my mindset is this. The truck is 6000 lbs, laws of physics come into play with making it quicker. Mine now is but i'm not looking for a drag truck. I'm perfectly happy holding my own with most sports cars. Again, this truck is as aerodynamic as a brick. How much over 108 mph do i need to go? Tires are the biggest issue here and even when i do upgrade those, there's only so much i can really do here and how often do i get to places that i can run 100+? Sadly not enough.

    That all said, there's lots of cool shit out there. We all are after different things for different reasons.

    Hope this helps......

    Thanks for the info. It helps to see what has been done I don't need to make my truck a drag beast I just want the thing to move when I push on the peddle (it's not bad right now but I could use more).

    I had the stock wheels powder coated with textured black powder 3% gloss. I like the way they turned out

    I had a Firestone airbag kit on my gen 1 Raptor it helps to keep the back end up when you have a load in the box or when pulling a trailer. Another benefit is the on board air compressor and tank to always have air wherever you go they usually hide the tank underneath and just have a quick connect somewhere to attach an air hose to. I want to adjust the front up 2" but then the air bags make sure the back end never squats lower than the front

    They always look so damn good when cleaned up.

    This was today, yes that's sleet/snow. Somewhere between Silverton and Ouray CO on my way to UT for the Raptor course. It needed to see some muck!!! Moab UT tomorrow.

    Welcome to the forum and congrats on your truck. Since you asked, here is my quick opinion and parts I have thus far, 2" leveling done with the RPG Collars, even after the leveling my rear is still higher than front therefore no need for airbags (just my opinion), for fog lights I have the Baja designs set up that comes all-inclusive in one kit (highly recommend), for intake I have the S&B cold air intake (looks good, priced fair, breathes a little easier, no real performance gain), for tuners there is not one I like yet (but again just my opinion). Hope this helps a little bit.
