All you got to do is search...

Another question that I'm not sure if it was asked, what is your budget your are trying to keep at? Suspension, Wheels and Tires will add up. Are you doing the work yourself?

You are going to be over $4k with just the Long Travel kit and Coilovers.

For a prerunner/raptor capability you are not going to want a high lift. This will make it easier to roll going high speeds being more top heavy.

We have the DK kit priced at 3298 on our site for the 4wd as it includes the axles. Our pricing is the same as what is listed on the DK site as all of their products are map priced - we can definitely put together a package with shocks and offer a nice discount on that.

Shocks will be anywhere from 1000-2000 depending on brand and options. Shoot us a PM and we can discuss some options

A standard F150 has about 8-9" of travel in stock form, a Raptor has 11. These kits provide about 13-14" of travel. Race trucks have anywhere from 18" to 30" on the unlimited trophy trucks.

If you want to go fast offroad, you need more shock and more travel.
yo with that prerunner type build do I need bigger fenders or fiberwerx ones or what?

Depends on what size tire you plan to run.


If you are going to be running 35's and up, it is recommended.



It also looks good too!
