Mine are on order, I talked to jarret a week or so ago and he said it would be approx. 3-4 before I would see mine. He also said that fox shocks would be holding me up more than the uca's so if you thinking about ordering a package through them it would probably be a good time to call now.

Frank going by your blog and post, we should start with the camburg kit and then use RPG if we want more out of it?

You made it sound like RPG has a kit like Camburg coming!

Hey guys...so my suggestion is NOT starting with the Camburg kit. Trust me when I tell you the F150 parts are almost here. I'll be making another post about this real soon!!!

For the price i see rpg being, i might as well buy the raptor. Not dissing them or anything, i understand that they make quality stuff. But i want a little better offroad control, i am not looking to be a raptor.

Thank you, looking forward to it.
So keep a couple things in mind guys, that story about Brian's build is the RPG guys just trying to help a vet out. I'm here to tell you that there is NO WAY to cost effectively turn your F150 into a Raptor. As you stated, might as well buy a Raptor. But a little love and cash can make an F150 look a whole lot like a Raptor and that's really all this is. Some good looks and a beefed up suspension that will let Brian do more than a stock F150 can do. Given the guys service, if he wants to call it a Raptor, he can call it the King Kong Dong of all Raptors for all I care.

That being said, there are a number of things you can do to your F150 to really make it ride better and give you a bunch more capability off road. That doesn't mean turning it into a Raptor though. Everything depends on your budget of course.

Springs make a HUGE difference in the behavior of the rear. Of course, shocks will improve that even more and the more you spend, the more abuse you can dish out. Even just the frame brace will help in that you won't be tweaking your frame (which is a lot easier to do than you think). You don't have to be be jumping dunes and 3ft whoop sections to bend a frame...a speed bump can do it just fine.

I've got a pretty good inside track on what's going on at the RPG shop so I can tell you that anyone looking to do a Camburg kit, well..the RPG F150 parts are going to make you very happy. Nothing wrong with Camburg, this just takes it a bit further. I have a pretty heavy rig and go into places folks don't want to go and get stuck in and where tow trucks won't go, so I need all the suspension help I can get...call it insurance vs. leaving a $50k rig in the mountains unrecoverable.

There is also a difference in the places you go for that type of suspension and the people that take there trucks through mud and getting stuck. I was you could have the best of both worlds but really you either need to be big for the mud or be someone leveled with coil overs to do the things you are doing.

I wish I could have the best of both because I'm still torn between going big or doing this type of suspension. Frankly I can't justify either seeing the my truck sees 95% street duty but I really cant help but want to spend money on my truck either lol.
