Leaf to Coil spring conversion

bigboy4eva · Feb 5, 2018

Hi guys is there anyone who has converted from leaf spring to coil springs on Gen2 raptor or F150 r there kits for fords? What r the advantages and disadvantages.

Yes. It's called a 3 or 4 link setup. Widely available from any reputable off-road fabricator as long as you're willing to pay the $15-30k to get it done. Giant's Daily Driver Link it allows you to keep the bed IIRC, but most don't allow that. You can expect travel numbers from the high teens up to around 30".

To answer your question, they work extremely well in the dirt. However on the street it might not be your cup of tea.

But will it squeak?

It'll make all sorts of fun noises. Not to mention the noise caused by tying a cage directly to the frame.

We are still talking about F150 Raptors here, right?

And if you are into that you can have 20" of wheel travel, under you stock bed, with Rogue Racing's cantilever system for 2015+ F150 and 2017+ Raptor.

Our system uses Deaver sprung under leaf springs, King 3.0 piggyback 3 tube bypass shocks custom valved for this application, and King 2.5 bump stops.

Pricing comes in around $13k with out a tire carrier system and $14K with it.
