coilovers and UCAs

My wife has a 2011 F150 SuperCrew with a 6.5ft bed. She wants to lift it so the front sits a little higher than the rear. It will be a dd and see the desert a few times a year. I was originally planning icon coilovers and camburg ucas. As i read more into it there are a few companies with coilovers. Such as King, Camburg, Fox, Icon. I also found that Total Chaos has ucas also. Which is a better set of coilovers and UCAs? How big a tire can i fit with about a 3" lift up front and no lift in the rear? any info is greatly appreciated.

Both total chaos and camburg make great products, but if I remember correct total chaos is a little cheaper and if your not gonna be beating on the truck they should be fine. As for coilovers every one has there opinion on whos the best but from all the reading I do on desert racing and prerunners most people go with King or Fox shocks as the top two. And since you will be seeing the desert and I'm assuming you want the best ride quality depending on the type of coilover you get you can take it to most places like camburg, bms, total chaos, or any of the shops in your area and get them to valve it properly to make the ride even better. Also make sure you get the right weight coil that can make or break a ride, the coils are rated in pounds per inch. Hope this helps man!

I'm running the fox bolt in coilovers on my prerunner. They are great but if you got the $$$ go for kings. Also adds to the bling factor. The fox's ride nice and handle well in the desert but I had to change my spring rate to 800s because my a arms are extended 4in over so thus adding more leverage. Fox comes with 650/b spring and the kings come with 700s.

You can fit a 35x12.50 by using the OEM wheels or an aftermarket wheel with almost identical specs, like an 8 with 5.5 inches of backspacing. You can fit 33's with just about any aftermarket wheel.
