Default Coilovers

I was doing some searching and all I can find is fox coilovers. Who knows what coilovers are available for a 2015 with a 6" lift? Also where is the best place to get them?

Thanks in advance

There a a few options out there. Fox is really about the only one that advertizes them.

You can get a icon and King coilovers custom
Built they do not advertise for a 2015 f150.

Dirt logic- fabtechs coilovers, vehicle specific and tested and tuned for the vehicle.

Pro comp- they offer their own line of coilovers with their lift.

Price wise it is going to go from cheapest- pro comp, dirt logic, King, icon and fox.

Best place will probably be stage3motorsports, for fox and DL

The others I wouldn't know the place to buy them other than the manufacturer.

A place like down south motorsports or SDHQ should be able to build anything you want. I'm sure there are other shops but those are just the ones I'm familiar with.

King, Icon, Fox can build what you need. Just call them and they will be able to help you.

I just purchased a 2016 5.0 SCREW with the 157" wheelbase (6.5'bed) with 3.73's. I want to go with the BDS 6" coilover lift with 37" tires, is it necessary to upgrade gears and/or driveshaft, or am I ok with the stock gears and shaft? I have heard responses on both sides of the fence. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

2016 XLT FX4 5.0 3.73 6.5' bed with sprayed in

Planned upgrades- Borla ATAK dual exhaust, air raid cold air intake, jlt oil separator, BDS 6" coilover lift, Fuel dune 20" wheels, Pro Comp 37" tires

With you wanted to go with 37's then a gear swap may be what you want but my question is why do you want 37's instead of 35's just curious?

IMO I feel like the 35"s look great with the 4" lift, but on the 6" I feel like they don't quite fill the well and leave a little to be desired in the tire department compared to the 37"s

That is a 6" with 35's the reason I ask is because you will have to do a good bit of trimming and probably cutting crash bars with 37's

BDS brochure claims the 6" whil fit 37x12.5 on 20x9 wheels with at least 5" back spacing. I have been searching the web and talking to guys like crazy to find out if that's true. Some guys say minimal trimming some guys say none. Unfortunately there's not a ton of people with 2015-2016 body styles with the 6" lift and 37s to get solid info from. Also your truck looks pretty darn good to me. Just makes my decision even tougher. I want to make sure everything will work smoothly before I drop between 8-10 grand on upgrades

I know what you mean I went through the same thing my wheels are 20x10 with a -19 offset and the tires are 35x12.5x20. They had to do a little trimming and cut part of the crash bar to fit
