That's awesome news, can't wait to see it. I am really thinking this will be my next mod! Gotta come up with the funds... I am figuring i'm looking at, at least $3500.00 to do it all right! You think that's close (not counting install)? I have a local 4x4 shop that I've used for a couple small mods so far... They can get the Camburg setup at a good discount, they race Baja in the "stock" class... Not so stock, but ya know. They also participate in the modified and super modified classes. At least I think that's what the classes are called? Anyway I can't wait, I am so anxious it's like a 5 year old at Christmas! Will also now have to add the extras for the rear setup to my wish/soon to get list. Thanks for being a very informative Guinea pig bro!
Hahaha...cool man. I think you might be in the ballpark for the Camburg kit with install. You will need another $3k or so for the rear. If you aren't in a hurry and can hang out a bit longer, I think there's some stuff coming soon from a new vendor that you are going to want to look at before pulling the trigger.

The biggest benefit I am interested in is the fact that you can end up with 3" of lift with almost 10" of suspension travel. That's all without having the truck so far up in the air that I can't get my kids and wife in! Lol! But another reason is that I am still trying to decide by research if a 6" lift, or any lift for that matter, changes the geometry of the front end to much... This kit from my understanding keeps everything exactly the same... You other guys can pitch in and add something or correct me if i'm wrong! :0D

Can we have a half-*** club member or do we need to have the full kit? My Icon coilovers & rears are supposed to ship tomorrow. I'm running the stock fx4 20s with 275 65 BFGs right now and was told the stock wheels had too much backspacing to run the camburg uppers. I talked to camburg and was told the uppers were built to the stock spec and I have no rubbing with my current setup. I plan on running the Icons a little below the max lift height so hopefully it will all work out. If not, I'll be ordering the Camburg uppers and damn, those Novakanes sure look good. Just time and money right?

I'm all over this one too. Almost pulled the trigger and got the Camburg Perf. Suspension, then I heard about new stuff just about to come out for the F150's, not just the Raptors. Also read posts from Bisonium confirming these rumors. So now the plastic is just sitting at idle. I guess I could order some now and some later, but I'm wanting rear springs and maybe the bumps too ??? I'd rather get it all at once, or at least know for sure that everything I do order with work together. I'm not looking to take on the Raptors, but I do want to be able to navigate any terrain without much trouble. Bisonium, your truck makes me proud to be a FORD MAN !!! So count me in as a Camburg club member. Please keep us posted if you don't mind.

Thanks man. I am definitely proud to be FORD! As for whether to wait, I will say this much. The Camburg kit is awesome. Can't go wrong with it. BUT...knowing what I know, if you can wait, I assure you that it will be not only worth the wait, but BETTER than Camburgs kit. How can I be so sure you ask? The engineer who designed and built not only those Camburg a-arms and their Kinetik trophy truck (among others), is the same engineer who has designed all the components about to come out for his new company. His upper and lower arms will be the best on the market and they make my current arms look like a joke.

Stay tuned fellas, the F-150 brought the Raptor into this world, and now it will be able to take it out too!

Been looking long and hard into getting this Camburg setup. How do you guys like it? Is it to soft at times?
The tires look great, though the road noise is a bit much. If you commute at all, you may regret going this way. As for the kit, it is amazing! Rides like a Cadillac on the highway but will take most anything you throw at it, with in reason !

You'll most definitely want to tune the shocks!
