That is freakin' awesome! I love how the rear bedcage is actually designed so you can still use the bed.

 

Kade has some nice looking welds. Good thing to have in a friend huh?

 

Ya he is an amazing welder. Hes been doing fab stuff for a few years now and hes only 20! My truck is nothing compared to the trucks hes built and worked on.

 

Hey man! Truck's amazing...Im lookin to do the same thing on an '09 F150. What did the long travel setup cost ya for the front? I can make a cage like ya did for the rear, but just curios as to what the long-travel setup ran ya?

Thanks

 

Wow, there's nothing like that over here in Tennessee! Simply awesome! This makes me want to pick up another truck and start modding. I guess I need to start learning how to weld!

 

lolitto ive already told you it looked great. But i wanted to repeat my self.... IT LOOKS AMAZING.

ANd your buddy's welds made me warm and fuzzy inside. I can weld but thats another animal.

 

Damn your truck is sweet!!! where do you go out and run it?

 

Chase91, the front end on mine ran me about $5300 (plus tax ouch) for the kit, coilovers and bump stops. For your 09 you should look at the JD Fab kit. They make an awesome kit for 2wd or 4wd, and it doesnt require an engine cage. Heres a link.

Thanx for the compliments guys. Ive taken it to Glamis so far but im yet to take it to pismo and out to the desert. We usually head out to Barstow or Lucurne cause my buddies and i race in the MDR series.

 

Truck is sick man! I want kade to do this to my truck too. we will do pismo in feb for sure... but next time if you break ur drive shaft dont try and steal mine. haha. Love the truck man.

 

 

Looks amazing! Great job.

 

IT WASNT ME! i told danny and darren if the happen to find one somewhere other then our camp that id throw them some cash. i didnt think they would be stupid enough to do it let alone try and take yours off! idiots haha. hey at least i gave you my bolts to put yours back on your truck lol.

Lets try to get a trip planned. say the weekend of the 20th or the weekend of the 27th? im down for either.

 

This is exactly what I want to build out of my 1997 F-150. I'm in love with this truck!

Having researched this kit for two years, can you give us the "Cliff's notes" version of pro/cons, and what other options you might have considered? What did you find that other people had to say about this kit? This is killer!

 

I know man... i was just giving you stuff. Im down for either... maybe both?

 

Ive talked to almost everyone who ownes this kit and said it works great. the only thing that ever concerned me was it used a lower ball joint instead of a uniball. Aaron at Dixon Bros assured me that it wont be a problem and works perfect just like everyone else told me with the kit. For the price you cant beat it.

But one of the things i had a problem with was the engine cage did not fit correctly. It had to be modified a bit but it will def work. I understand nothings perfect and you cant expect it to be with something that was built in a jig. Not all trucks are the same so take some time and it will fit right.

Also if your on a budget and cant get the Bypass, just run the coil over and bump stop. I run that now and it works amazing.

Im leaning more twards the 27th cause im going to Primm for a race the 12th and dont want to do back to back trips. Ill start spreading the word.
