This is a very thorough review and should answer pretty much everybody's questions that are considering buying them great job stage 3 Motorsports.

@andrewricker3353 Жыл бұрын

The most honest, thorough and helpful review of a product I've heard in a while.

Ordered this kit seven months ago for my 2020 f150 sxt 2wd still haven’t got them. But that video was awesome can’t wait.

Excellent review. Appreciate the candor and thorough information.

Thanks Cord! Always glad to hear that the hard work is appreciated.

Love the old mine site you drive through. Trucks nice too.

I'm feeling something like this kit with 275/60R20's (33's on my factory wheels). No messing about with my crash bars, none of the trails in Coastal North Carolina will be a problem for 20 inch wheels.

Let's go a little bigger with your 2021 F150, proper 35s, uppers and lowers, King triples, some deavers and glass. LET'S GO...

I like the sound of all that! Although, there are higher powers above me that may need some convincing hahaha.

Nice

I did changed the height on mine and it did change how stiff the suspension was from stock.

How do they compare to the new bilstein?

@07bluelbz 2 жыл бұрын

Might want to check the lower control arm bolts. I could see a lot of movement around the 6:04 mark in the video.

@namor216 2 жыл бұрын

That's happened to me after getting an alignment then going off-road. The shop didn't torque those bolts down to spec. They're supposed to be at 258 lb-ft.

@NoahStage3 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, two of the A arm bolts rattled loose and we had to tighten them up on the trail. We realigned it once we got back to the shop and torqued them down. Haven't had any issues since then thankfully.

Thanks for the review! Trying to just get something soon, I threw the Falcon kit on there, but it's definitely not quite what I was looking for. I've been eying this kit as the upgrade, but am curious if another kit would fit better for a mix of overlanding and high speed gravel/fireroad driving in the 2.5" arena?

@NoahStage3 2 жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed the review! I'd recommend taking a look at the Fox 2.5s. Still not a "budget" suspension by any means, but I like the way they ride in the dirt and they tend to run a bit softer than the Kings do.

@TravisN 2 жыл бұрын

What didn't you like about the falcon set up? ...I am considering it. I like driving faster on back roads than the stock suspension is good with, and the falcon's adjustability for towing also appeals to me. I was hoping this review might mention something

@sk8inrj1 Жыл бұрын

Don't aftermarket control arms allow more droop travel?

@liammorrison926 Жыл бұрын

How come these don't fit 2014 models? I thought that is when ford switched the lower control arms to fit them?

How do the Elkas compare to the King and fox?

Will this kit fit a 2020 regular cab f150 ?

@rdsii64 2 жыл бұрын

I really interested in this particular build because it started with an STX. (I have a 2018) I really want to see what a truck without lockers, LSD's, or Torsen fronts will do off road. Could we see a real shake down of what the final build is capable of please?

@rdsii64 2 жыл бұрын

I just realized this truck as the FX4 package. This means it comes with a rear e-locker. None of what said makes any sense any more.

@DirtyDanF117 6 ай бұрын

Always wondered what the performance difference off-road is with 2.5 vs 3.0 Kings. This guys ripping with 2.5 makes me wonder if 3.0 would be overkill

How do these 2.5 kits with a UCA upgrade on 10+ f150s compare to a stock gen 1 raptor

@NoahStage3 2 жыл бұрын

The Raptor still wins in terms of stability and travel due to its purpose built suspension design and wider stance. BUT this King setup with a UCA does get you much closer to the feeling of a Raptor, and of course the price of this suspension is quite a bit cheaper than the price of a Raptor as a whole.

@phild9813 2 жыл бұрын

Good looking suspension. Why do all these trucks have “crash bars” now? Assuming it’s to pass testing? I have a 2011, 2” level, stock wheels, narrow but full 35” tires and no rubbing after removing the front mud flaps. No crash bars of course, but it didn’t have them from the factory lol.

@JsGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Yea the crash bars are because the small frontal overlap crash tested revealed bad results on trucks before this testing occurred. They fair much better with crash bars.

@JsGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Best example is the 2015 F150 super cab vs crew cab. Same truck, super cab didn’t get crash bars that year but the crew cab did. The results were quite significant. Or compare 15’ and 16’ small overlap F150 super cab.

@brennen203 2 жыл бұрын

Are these good for daily driving? I want Coil overs that I can adjust the stiffness. I drive 4 hours a day. I want smooth sailing

@ShockSurplus 2 жыл бұрын

Fox has a greater range of adjustability to go between soft daily drive and offroad control. Icon's CDCV setups also affect the drive tremendously, we have a lot of feedback that King's adjusters dont make too much

@Dickj203 2 жыл бұрын

Are the kings progressive or linear? Heard the icons are terrible for daily driving due to them being digressive.

@ShockSurplus 2 жыл бұрын

Kings are linear pistons with a little bit of progressive valving curve towards high speed.

Did you crash the drone at 7:05 ?

No drone crashes yet, but we did have to pull hard right away from that bush which doesn't make for great looking footage.

that cheap looking roll bar wobbling as you go down the trail sure looks like it would hold the weight of the truck

These are the last things I want for my 2015 f150 5.0 with 2” lift on 33 12.50r20’s then I’ll be set. Not buying a new truck ever

You'll want to give our team a call about ordering a set of these but it is a bit of a back order currently 623-434-5277
