Long travel BS thread

Sick dude! Congrats!

 

Thanks everyone. Check out the performance kit were finishing up. Works with bilstiens and king coilovers. 2 to 3 inches of lift.

 

^whats the amount of travel on that?

 

The amount of travel isn't much more then stock. Pretty much its whatever you get from the shock and the extra inch or so from uniball being able to move farther then a ball joint. This is just a performance kit. We offer a race kit as well. Here is a few pics of it in the making

That stuff is gorgeous.

I want to do a heavy duty mid-travel at some point. Get upgraded UCAs (Camburg/Icon/etc) and Fox 2.0s for the front, then do some heavy shocks (Fox or Bilstein) for the back and probably an AAL. Not sure if Deavers would be enough to maintain my payload or if they would sag...

 

What year and truck do you have right now? Those first arms are for 04 to 13 f150. Heavy duty and work with king coilovers or bilstiens

I have a 2007 F150 with the heavy duty tow package and 7-lug wheels. I'm 90% sure the suspension is basically the same, just higher spring rates and an extra leaf in back. Payload of 2800lbs and 9200lb towing.

I may just source the LCA & UCA and shocks off the raptor forum. I could pick it all up for around $1000. Then look at the leaf packs for the rear.

I'm not going to be jumping or pre-running anything probably ever, but want a sweet ride across our crappy roads and frost heaves.

 

Wow! That is awesome.

 

Maybe I won't do the Raptor front... Here's a guy that did it to his 2011
Raptor suspension on XLT 2011 f150 - Ford F150 Forum

It makes the front end waaay to wide for me. Probably just going to stick with UCA and coilovers.
