I believe the GEN1 parts fit the 2015 + F150. @trophycummins did this I think. Maybe he can chime in. I know Rogue, RPG and SVC have a fair amount of knowledge on doing a mid-travel F150 setup.

Yeah they’re a little out of my price range. Right now it’s the “price VS amount of usage” debate. I’m fine with just UCAs and 2.5s if that’s all I really need. I’m not a desert *****(just a regular ***** lol). Not in the desert every day. Truck is also my daily driver. So I will be 98% on road. Not looking to break the bank for 5 weekends per year of off-roading.

Understood. Your first post does say UCA, LCA, Knuckles etc... so I was under the impression you wanted to widen the track and get the same-ish travel numbers as a raptor. That's why I recommended the GEN1 raptor parts since they bolt up (OEM or aftermarket). If you only want UCA's and 2.5's you don't need any other parts but that won't be raptor-ish equivalent.

17 raptor front parts will not work on a 15 up f150 / different mounting points on frame. just order some lt parts for your f150

You can use the UCA and LCA from a Gen2 Raptor, the knuckle is the same. The only thing different is the coil bucket.

I WAS thinking about going with Baja kits or icon. Know anyone else who makes a system??

Dont go with baja kits, and the icon kit doesnt make enough travel.

I don’t wanna break the bank. Just wanna have my truck not break.

That is dependent on how you drive the truck, everything can break.

Thanks,

Gen1 or Gen2 arms will work, Dont bother swapping knuckles.

Gen1 raptor shocks will fit the 15+ F150 with gen1 or gen 2 LCA

Youll need raptor Tie rods.

I dont run a sway bar.

UCAs and 2.5's will probably work better than gen1 raptor shocks/arms. Once you change it up to 3.0s with raptor suspension, things get a lot better. Get deaver springs for the rear.

I see trucks setup this way all the time that "keep up" with normal driving.

If youre looking to keep up with EXO runs, youll be in the back of the pack with that setup. My truck is in the back of the pack with my setup. EXO guys are FAST.

Buy UCAs, 35's on 17's and Kings and be happy. If you want to go faster than that, its a slippery slope down hill.

Yeah I had my bone stock Raptor on about 5 of their runs and I was in the back half of the group. Which is fine by me. Got my Lowrance and VHF so if something goes down, I’m ok. Loading up a bedrack ad we speak as well. I also have 35 Nitto trail grapplers as well.

Looks like I get UCAs, shocks, and leafs.

will the gen 2, 3.0" fox coil fit using the gen 1 UCA and LCA?

Picked these new gen 2 takeoff's up for $200. They are about 2" longer than gen 1 fox coils. they are 28.75" from top hat to center of bottom mounting hole, gen 1 is about 26 3/4" i think.

The Gen 2 raptor coil hat is the same dimensions and mounting bolt pattern as the 2016 f150

Remove the coil and top hat from the Gen1 shock and use on the gen2 shock body and it will work. BUT .. off road it hard and you will have an issue as the gen2 shock is much taller and thus create an extreme angle with front drive shaft when in 4-wheel drive.

Will the Gen2 shocks fit on a 2018 F150 Lariat with a 6in lift. I have a buddy of mine that wants mine, just checking for him before I sell them to him.
