Choosing suspension for your F150 usually starts with a few simple goals: improve the ride, level the truck, and maybe make room for larger tires. But once you start comparing kits, figuring out which one fits how you actually use your truck can get confusing. A kit that works well for someone spending every weekend on rough trails may not be what you want for your daily commute. And a higher price does not automatically mean a more comfortable ride. For customers who spend most of their time on pavement with the occasional dirt road or mild trail mixed in,...

The Great F-150 Suspension Debate Pt 2: Stepping Up to High-Performance Suspension  A while back we put together our original Great Suspension Debate: F-150 Version, comparing some of the most popular suspension upgrades for the F-150. That article focused heavily on kits like the Bilstein 6112/5160, Eibach Stage 2R, Ford Performance, and FOX 2.0. For a lot of F-150 owners, those kits still make perfect sense.  But what happens when you want to take the next step?  Over the last few years, there have been a lot more options hitting the market in the larger-body performance shock category. We're talking 2.5-inch and larger shock bodies, remote...

As an off-road shop, we’ve built plenty of trucks designed for dirt, rocks, and everything in between. But this time, we wanted to take a slightly different approach — creating a hybrid build that’s just as comfortable commuting every day as it is putting power down on demand or hitting the trail on the weekend. While we’ve spent years building capable off-road trucks, we know there’s a massive group of F-150 owners who lean just as heavily into performance. This build is for them. The goal here is to create a well-rounded daily driver — something that’s comfortable on the...

Upper control arms might not be the flashiest part of a suspension build, but on a 2021+ Ford F-150, they’re one of the most debated—and misunderstood—upgrades out there. If you’ve spent any time researching lifts, leveling kits, or bigger tires, you’ve probably run into the same questions over and over: Do I really need aftermarket upper control arms? Why do some setups rub and others don’t? Is billet actually better than tubular? Why do my stock wheels suddenly cause problems after a lift? Welcome to the infamous upper control arm debate. In this guide, we’re breaking it all down—without the...
