Not sure where your located or what year your truck is(on my phone can't see it) but if your anywhere near socal Richer Racing makes a great kit. They might ship but im not sure. I was quoted like $5200 for the kit, install, shocks and the whole deal. That's for my 07 though

Mykrrrr... after 10 pages of google the same things keep popping up lol
Apbuske...i live in michigan. It would be convenient to live in california or nevada where all long travel companies are. $5200 is way out of my range. There is a Sway-a-Way Racerunner kit specifically for my 05 f150 that is 0-3" coilover adjustable shocks up front with piggyback resevoir shocks in back. That kit is $1600 and gives about 10" of travel

Not a bad upgrade but its just not long travel. SAW makes a great set up and is well better on the performance end. The reason the 5200 is high is because they have to cut out your OEM coil bucket and weld in a new mount, then add all the accessories. Plus you will be running uni-***** or heims depending on each company versus ball joints/bushings. Each kit varies on options and accessories. If your in the market for a bolt on kit, fox, king, and SAW all make F150 OEM replacement parts. You can even drop another $600 to run a nice camburg/total chaos uni-ball upper arm.

Ohh no..this is nothing close to a long travel lol. Didnt SAW break off from FOX or KING and basically the same shock just costs a little less? I am going to run Camburg's setup. It is basically the same coilover but is has better valving for offroad. I am going to do without the upper control arm for now..but is definitely on my list after rims and tires.
