looks at some of the long travel kits. Dixon Bros i believe has one.

they arent cheap and they dont just bolt on like a fabtech or other suspension lift.

IF you really are serious about pushing your trucks limits and you want the best you can get you are looking to spend at least $10k in just suspension and thats the cheap end it can get expensive really fast.

check camburg and total chaos as well. i think front end kits cost around 4-5k last time i checked. then you gotta look into the rear. like trimble said, 10k is very easy to hit fast

well if you really wanna push the limits of your truck think about safety too. adding a cage and some good suspension seats is a must....

just as a reference my friend has over $5k in his 9" rear end alone...

User Lolito F-150 switched from a bolt on fabtech kit to a DBR long travel kit. I believe he spent 10-12k doing all the work himself.

H&M kit will set you back about $4500 for the front end but you will still need shocks, The rear can be done with a cantilever setup under the bed for about $2500 with shocks and softer deaver leafs, or you can cut your bed and run shock hoops and loose the leafs alltogether.
Myself would rather pay $9-12k to have a race quality suspension underneath it, seen to many broken lift kits in the oilpatch.
Then again my buddy is an engineer for elka suspension so im a little biased.
