I n 2010, Ford introduced the SVT Raptor, a high- performance off-road truck with a specialized suspension system and features that made it a big hit with SCORE fans. With more than 11 inches of suspension travel in front, and more than 12-inches of suspension travel at the rear, the Raptor is the every man's trophy truck, that could be driven daily to work, and tear up the dirt on weekends. But because all off-road enthusiasts can't leave their vehicles alone, aftermarket manufacturers have created an abundance of performance upgrade parts for the Raptor that take its off-road performance to a higher level. While there are hundreds of aftermarket parts for these vehicles, we've gathered several of the more popular upgrade products from serious off-road aftermarket and desert racing manufacturers. These include a variety of suspension, drivetrain and engine performance upgrades that take the Raptor up several notches and are built off of the manufacturer's experience in SCORE desert racing, or their knowledge of building trucks that are serious about going fast off- road.
