IMHO,
1. Kings
2. Icon (3.0 setup is about to ship from SDHQ)
3. Fox is still working on a setup for the raptor. They have some bypass shocks for the rear but nothing for the front.
Give SDHQ a call, they will be able to answer any question you might have. Long travel is nice if you have the money and need the extra travel. But at this point, not worth it if you get some good suspension under there. Whatever you do, make sure you get a good bump stop setup. It sounds like you want to do some serious off-road driving so a bump stop setup would be cheap insurance.

thanks for the info, well i m looking for a confort ride, i have 08 f250 with 8 inches lift kit fab tech and dirt logics 4.0 with 38 incges tires, the ride is very hard on off road and rocky roads, i think with a long travel suspension the ride going to be a lot more better on rocky roads, i have a yamaha yfz with long travel suspension and the ride is a lot more smoother than the stocks suspensions.

he's baaaack
need some recommendation
Call Outlaw. They have a truck they are building for one of the members on here. There are pics and a thread describing all the work that's being done. Raptizzle also has an extensive build thread of his truck which has some of the things you are looking for. It's all on here if you take the time to look. Anything can be done if you have the $$$$$!!!

I love the post about Outlaw in that thread. He probably doesn't know about the Raptor R because it was never put into production :grenade:
