Being based on the Ram 1500 means that Chrysler&#8217;s Raptor-fighter will feature independent suspension at all four corners. We should also expect plenty of suspension travel. Oh, and <a href=\"http:\/\/koreperformance.com\/spy.htm\">could this be a hint<\/a> at the future?<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s not necessarily expected that the Ram brand will offer such a high-lift, long-travel model in dealerships right off the factory floor, there is a decent chance that the components developed for this concept could end up in a Mopar accessory or KORE catalog (or both?) sometime soon. And you can count us firmly among those looking forward to that.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/news.pickuptrucks.com\/2010\/03\/mopar-plans-surprise-long-travel-ram-1500-for-easter-jeep-safari.html\">PickupTrucks.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/16\/mopar-also-planning-high-lift-ram-1500-for-jeep-safari\/\">Mopar also planning high lift Ram 1500 for Jeep Safari, Raptor put on notice<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:58:00 EST.
