So I've been tossing around the idea of turning my 2010 F150 2wd into a prerunner style truck and was wondering if anyone out there knew of a decent suspension set up to run. I really like the look of the fiberwerx trophy truck one piece front end and bed sides. I would love to run one of the Brenthel/baja kits long arm suspension, but not really looking to spend $7k+ on suspension

 

If you wanna fill out that one piece your gonna need a suspensions system thats gonna cost you right around 5k+.

 

x2. Pizza man is right. If you want a pre runner style truck its going to cost you more money that you will most likely want to spend. Don't get a sick fiberwerx set up and have a lame suspension set up that makes your truck look bad. In southern california it is the craze and it seems every high schooler with a truck has an ugly set up.

However, if you do dish out the dough, you will be very pleased.

Yea glass isn't going to look good on truck thats not at least 2 over probably, and a one piece to pull it off you'd need to be somewhere around 4-5 over on each side.

 

Well it was a good idea while it lasted, but I can't really justify that much for suspension.

 

i was looking into the same thing. i want the camburg long travel and fiberwerx fenders so i can go hit the dunes out near yuma. im looking into a procomp 4 inch lift for now, from 4 wheel parts, they have good holiday deals and it comes with shocks. i'll let you know how it feels once installed.

 

That procomp lift isn't going to do anything in the dunes, and it's not made for them so there's the chance your gonna break something if you try to run hi speed out there.

 

yeah i know, i merely settled while i wait for a deployment to fund my Long Travel Kit.

 

i want this!

and to clear things up, didn't getthe procomp, i'm impulsive and i decided to be patient. Found this...

yea goin long travel is expensive but built right youll be able to fly across the desert and do jumps. yes it is expensive...but this aint your regular lift kit..the welds arnt machine done, theyre done by hand. camburg is IMO the best out there. denofl, you posted up about the burg 6.5, thats 2k easy, look at the dixon bros long travel setup, its 2500 w/o shocks so call that 4k, 5k+ for camburgs. I am personally lookin into BMF fab to custom make me a mid-travel kit with boxed uppers, lowers, lift spindle with uniballs top and bottom, bilstein 5100s, lift coils and beard limiting straps, good for like 10" of safe travel, thats easily 2500, then for the rear, Ill run deavers with longer shocks thats another 600 +180 for shocks...but the abuse I put on my suspension Im supprised it hasnt failed....yet.

 

You can't really jump without caging though, are frames are very prone to bending at the spot where the bed meets the cab.

 

pizzaman711, in his defense, he did say "built right". lol. i didnt consider that, but...the 6.5 kit comes with bilstein 5100 according to this post http://www.dezertrangers.com/vb/truc...tm#post2290950
and camburg claims 10" of travel. but if your getting lowers too you win, get 2 kits made, haha. i know what you mean, man trucks been through so much. it sunk it in a pond once, almost hydrolocked it, my buddy kit saved my life with emergency surgery. pulled the plugs turned they key, water shot about 30 feet out. i have a video of th pipe draning, i'll post a link.

 

sorry for all the typos...
