Default king coils on stock ride height??

So i was walking to the docks yesterday here on base and saw a sterling fx4 with ki.g coil resi's front and back? But it wasn't lifted so I snapped a picture and am wondering why and what's the reason does anyone have their truck set up like this

Look up RPG suspension. They make upgrades the Raptor and now the F150. So why set the truck up like this vs a lift kit? It all depends on what you want. If height is your only goal then the lift kit route is the way to go. Blasting through the desert is most commonly why trucks are set up like that. A lower center of gravity combined with bigger tires and really good shocks is the way to go out there. Almost the same goes in the rock crawling world too.

Didn't see anything on their site for a regular old F-150. I live in the desert and would love some long travel suspension.

I'm sure you can call king direct and get the same product
