RPG guys. Has there been anything as far as additional parts for the f150. I added the fox 2.5 coilovers and 2.0 rears. However, i couldn't wait and added the icon UCA's for now. i really would like the upgraded tie rod ends from RPG. I see there are some for raptors. Any plans for F150's or am I stuck with the ready lift ones. Let me know.

Hi Nckeith, the short answer is that yes, there definitely is a bunch of F150 stuff coming soon we hope. We haven't gone all-out launching the F150 line yet because we've been catching up on a lot of Raptor stuff that we got bombarded with, and until we can manufacture enough parts for the F150 launch that we feel good about having enough inventory for you guys, we didn't want to launch and sell out in a day. We're expecting these parts will be a big hit.

That being said, Rear suspension like a Stage 3 can be had right NOW. It's no different than a Raptor. If you want shocks, we have you covered there for both front and rear, you just have to call the shop and talk to Jarret.

So you mentioned you had to get the UCA's because you couldn't wait. Was there something wrong with yours or you just wanted them like NOW? I ask because folks may not understand that with the stock rear setup (especially the springs), you really aren't doing much for your setup because the rear can't keep up with the front. When looking at shocks, the Fox 2.0's in the rear are basically a factory replacement with a little extra boost, but they aren't going to keep up with those 2.5's in the front either. I discovered that the hard way. When i moved up to a set of Raptor take-off shocks, it was like night and day (not to mention that the springs were in itself a night and day difference). The big deal is FOX's internal bypass technology. That's where you will really notice the difference, blew my mind when I replaced mine (Fox 2.5 with piggy backs) with Raptor shocks let me tell you.

Thanks for the reply. I needed the UCA because I had a leaking front strut and since I was dropping it off to have the front end coilovers installed, I only wanted to get it aligned once for now. So the Icon UCA will have to do. As for the rears, similar deal plus money. Since I shelled out 1700 for the front end, I went with Procomp aal for 100 bucks and 200 for fox rears. My factory rear shocks were toast and doing anything with the truck made me touch the overload spring. I wont feel bad chucking the aal and fox 2.0 when I transition to nationals and piggybacks later. The reason I was asking for the tierods was my thought to finish the front end for now before saving up and tackling the rear. I'm not running the desert and so far the overall ride is awesome compared to stock. I can't wait to do the rears. I'll keep checking back for those uniball tierods.

Right on man! Glad to see you got them. Don't forget to squirt some of this stuff on the moving parts every now and then:

DuPont Dry Film Teflon Lube

Frank when should the UCA be taken a part and relubed?

bisonium

Never! That's the beauty of the stainless steel bushings. Use the teflon lube and you are done. This is primarily why we stopped making the Pre-Runner line for the Raptor, although it was less expensive, it used polyurethane bushings which require you periodically squirt some grease into the fittings to keep them lubed. If you don't, they will start creaking and moaning something fierce. Nobody was buying them so we said, why bother and just make the Raceline with all stainless steel bushings.
