So KHC buckets, Fox 3.0 Factory series with live valve, and SDI E click... on a Gen 1.... go it...

Are you able to utilize the E-Click system on a Gen 1? I thought not...

Camburg makes a really nice conversion bucket that welds in to look factory.

Yep, same process as adding it to a 17-18 Gen 2. Just have to run the wires to the shocks and through the firewall for the controller.

Thank you!

My Live Valves, revalved by SDI, and SDI E-Click is in the mail. I got the KHC conversion kit in mail as well for the Gen1. Excited to see what this will do. Almost as pricey as a set of 3.0 Fox Shocks, but hoping it's a better set up for my versatile needs.

That's kind of my thoughts too. By the time you get the KHC buckets, the Geiser springs, Live Valve shocks with rebuilds, and the SDI e-click it seems like you'll end up around like 4500-ish unless you got the shocks for a steal. Looks like you can get the 3.0 coilovers and 3.0 rear shocks for about that. Very tough call.

What kind of filter does your camera use to make you look so young?

The Gen 2 has about 2” more of travel in the front than our Gen 1s. I want to use the Camburg coilover buckets for a Gen 2 and put them on my Gen 1 and then use a Gen 2 3.0 King as well. Has anyone else done this to achieve the extra 2” of travel?

I'm curious if you could just get a 2nd Gen shock bucket from Ford instead of dealing with aftermarket versions. I can't find them available for newer than 1996 f150 trucks online, and can't even locate a part number for 1st-2nd versions. If the newer shock bucket, (aka coil spring pocket housing, aka strut tower, etc), is available, you probably just need to drill out a couple welds that are easy to reach. The F250 2021 versions are cheap and available, so maybe the Raptor ones are as well?
