Mopar Ram Runner Stage II Kit Challenges The Raptor

Truck enthusiasts have all heard of the off-road, SVT version of the Ford F-150, the Raptor.  Its capable of off-road speeds that would demolish most production four-wheelers.  Now Ram and Mopar have put together some serious competition for Ford.  Introducing the all-new Mopar Ram Runner Stage II kit.

The available Mopar Ram Runner kit was inspired by high-speed desert off-road racing. The rigors of off-road racing require large tires, additional ground clearance and a sophisticated suspension system capable of withstanding tremendous impact. These features are combined with the proven HEMI 5.7-liter V-8 into a package that is stable at speed and rock-solid in the corners. Inspired by trophy trucks, steel front fenders and rear bed-sides are replaced with fiberglass layered in the Liquid Metal Mopar racing scheme. The high-clearance wheel wells allow tremendous suspension articulation with zero tire-to-body interference.

There are five upgrades in total, with the Pre-Runner Stage II
