The 2022 Ford F-150 Raptor stands as the pinnacle of high-performance off-road pickups, combining the legendary F-150 platform with race-bred engineering. Now available at Performance Luxury Sport in Marysville, Ohio, this exceptional vehicle has been meticulously enhanced with premium aftermarket upgrades that elevate its already impressive capabilities to extraordinary heights. For drivers in the Columbus and Cincinnati areas, this customized Raptor represents the perfect fusion of factory excellence and personalized off-road enhancement.

At Performance Luxury Sport, we understand that the F-150 Raptor is more than just a truck—it’s a statement of adventure, capability, and uncompromising performance. This particular 2022 model has been transformed with carefully selected aftermarket components that enhance both its aesthetic appeal and its formidable off-road prowess. From custom wheels and tires to upgraded suspension and premium lighting, every modification has been chosen to maximize the Raptor’s legendary capabilities.

Custom Aftermarket Wheels and Tires: Maximum Grip and Style

At the foundation of this Raptor’s enhanced performance are its custom wheels and tires, meticulously selected to provide superior traction across all terrains. These upgrades not only enhance the vehicle’s aggressive appearance but also significantly improve its off-road capability and on-road handling characteristics.

Falken Wildpeak R/T Tires: Versatile Terrain Dominance

This Raptor is equipped with 35-inch Falken Wildpeak R/T tires, renowned throughout the off-road community for their exceptional versatility. These tires excel across a wide range of conditions, from highway cruising to deep mud, rocky trails, and everything in between. The Wildpeak R/T’s aggressive tread pattern provides outstanding grip in loose terrain while maintaining reasonable noise levels for daily driving. With their robust construction and reinforced sidewalls, these tires offer the durability needed for serious off-road adventures while delivering the performance that Raptor owners demand.

Rays Volk Racing TE37XT Wheels: Lightweight Performance Excellence

Complementing the Falken tires are Rays Volk Racing TE37XT wheels in a striking matte blue gunmetal finish. These 18×9-inch wheels feature a -1 offset, which provides the perfect balance of aggressive stance and functional clearance. The TE37XT series is legendary for its lightweight forged construction, which reduces unsprung weight and improves suspension responsiveness. The distinctive matte blue gunmetal finish adds a unique aesthetic touch that sets this Raptor apart from the crowd, while the proven TE37 design ensures both durability and performance.

• 35-Inch Falken Wildpeak R/T Tires: Exceptional versatility across all terrain types with aggressive tread pattern
• Rays Volk Racing TE37XT Wheels (18×9 -1 offset): Lightweight forged construction in matte blue gunmetal finish
• Enhanced Ground Clearance: Larger tire diameter improves approach, departure, and breakover angles
• Superior Traction: Optimized contact patch for maximum grip in challenging conditions
• Reduced Unsprung Weight: Lightweight wheels improve suspension responsiveness and handling

ICON Vehicle Dynamics Stage 2 Suspension: Elevating Performance

The 2022 F-150 Raptor already features one of the most advanced factory suspension systems available in any pickup truck. This particular example takes that excellence even further with the ICON Vehicle Dynamics Stage 2 Suspension System, which provides significant lift and enhanced capability while maintaining the Raptor’s sophisticated electronic damping technology.

Enhanced Ground Clearance and Capability

The ICON Stage 2 system provides a substantial 2 to 2.25-inch lift over stock, dramatically improving ground clearance for more challenging off-road obstacles. This additional height, combined with the 35-inch tires, creates an impressive off-road presence and significantly expands the Raptor’s capability envelope. The increased clearance allows you to tackle larger obstacles, navigate deeper ruts, and confidently traverse terrain that would challenge lesser vehicles.

Linear Spring Rate and Electronic Shock Functionality

What sets the ICON Stage 2 system apart is its ability to provide enhanced performance while preserving the Raptor’s advanced electronic shock controls. The front coil springs feature a linear spring rate, which delivers consistent, predictable suspension behavior across the entire travel range. This linear rate eliminates the harsh ride quality sometimes associated with progressive springs while providing the support needed for aggressive off-road driving. Critically, the system maintains full electronic shock functionality, allowing you to adjust damping characteristics through the Raptor’s drive mode system—ensuring comfort on the highway and maximum capability when the trail gets challenging.

• 2-2.25-Inch Lift: Significantly increased ground clearance for challenging obstacles
• Linear Spring Rate: Consistent suspension behavior for predictable handling
• Preserved Electronic Damping: Full integration with Raptor’s drive mode system
• Enhanced Approach/Departure Angles: Improved capability for steep inclines and descents
• Maintained Ride Quality: Comfortable highway manners with off-road performance

KC LED Light Bar and Aftermarket Bumpers: Premium Protection and Illumination

Serious off-road adventures don’t end when the sun goes down, and this Raptor is equipped to handle darkness with confidence. Combined with upgraded front and rear bumpers that provide enhanced protection and a more aggressive appearance, the lighting and protection upgrades create a cohesive off-road package.

KC Gravity Titan LED Light Bar: Maximum Illumination

Mounted prominently on the front, a 57-inch KC Gravity Titan LED light bar delivers unmatched lighting power for nighttime off-road adventures. KC HiLiTES has been a trusted name in off-road lighting for decades, and the Gravity Titan series represents their latest in LED technology. This massive light bar provides an incredible amount of forward illumination, effectively turning night into day on the trail. The LED technology ensures efficient power consumption while delivering superior light output compared to traditional halogen or HID systems. Whether you’re navigating technical trails in complete darkness or simply need extra visibility on rural roads, the Gravity Titan light bar ensures you’ll see clearly ahead.

High Clearance Front Bumper: Protection Meets Performance

The factory front bumper has been replaced with a high-clearance aftermarket front bumper that features integrated LED lights and a protective skid plate. This upgrade serves multiple critical functions: the high-clearance design provides improved approach angles for steeper obstacles, the integrated LED lights add supplementary forward lighting, and the skid plate protects critical front-end components from trail damage. The bumper’s aggressive styling complements the Raptor’s muscular appearance while adding functional benefits that enhance its off-road capability.

Fab Fours Vengeance Rear Bumper: Durable Protection

At the rear, a Fab Fours Vengeance full-width bumper in black powder coat finish provides enhanced protection and durability. This bumper is designed to withstand the rigors of serious off-road use while maintaining the Raptor’s aggressive aesthetic. The full-width design offers comprehensive protection for the rear of the vehicle, and the powder-coated finish ensures long-lasting durability against the elements. Like the front bumper, the rear bumper upgrade is both functional and visually striking, creating a cohesive appearance that signals this Raptor’s serious off-road intent.

The Complete Off-Road Package: Factory Excellence Enhanced

While the aftermarket upgrades are impressive, it’s important to remember that they enhance an already exceptional foundation. The 2022 F-150 Raptor features a twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine producing 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The FOX Live Valve shocks with electronic damping provide sophisticated suspension control, while the terrain management system allows you to optimize performance for various conditions.

Perfect for Columbus and Cincinnati Area Adventures

Whether you’re exploring the trails around Hocking Hills, navigating the backcountry of southern Ohio, or simply need a capable daily driver that stands out, this customized Raptor delivers on all fronts. The upgrades enhance the vehicle’s already impressive capabilities without compromising its daily usability. The combination of factory engineering and carefully selected aftermarket components creates a truly unique vehicle that’s ready for any adventure.
