Default The best suspension setup without LT

What's the best I can do to max my front suspension without doin long travel or a coil over conversion, as far as a arms, shocks and torsions for offroading, I'm not going for a 6 in lift either I'm building a showrunner. Thanks

Unfortunately not really any way to gain more travel. Even a 6 inch lift keeps stock suspension travel.

true...
however, if you go with a GOOD shock company like Icon, King, Fox etc, you can have them custom valve shocks for what you wanna do..

wont give you more travel, but would improve the dampening alot...also pricey and probably close to a lt kit in that regard.. youd have to call around

Check this link out as an example. http://www.camburg.com/ford/97-03-f1...road-system-3/ ..... Got a question, you don't want to lift your truck but you want to upgrade the suspension?

Replacing your stock upper controlling arm and struts with a camburg kit allows you to run a uni-ball instead of a ball joint a little more travel and is way stronger is the way to go for you

I have over 12 k into my front A arms and everything! They were custom built at KS motor sports back in 2004 But look into Dixon bros. They make a good kit I have heard!
