Is there a complete bolt on kit for the front suspension that I wouldn't have to sell my first born son to afford? I'd like to upgrade the front end but not sure which route to go. It's a 2011 with roughly 147k miles, majority of those are highway miles driving back and forth to work. She's probably about 99% street queen but it's a truck and i use it as such. The only off-roading I do in it is the occasional trips to the river which is by an old gravel pit, but i hardly ever shy away from the rail road crossings haha.

Have you considered things like 3.0 coil overs, upper control arms, upgraded tie rods? That's a pretty good start, and not breaking the bank. For no more than what it sounds like you do with the truck, I wouldn't go too crazy.

You might even consider having the exiting shocks rebuilt and throw on a set of Geiser Bros coil springs.

Pm me with any questions you might have or if you would like me to get you some pricing on things.....

What does new uca do for ya ? I know nothing about off road suspension .

Absolutely nothing, they're bling bling.

Only useful if you need to weld up the lca slots and do adjustments up top to prevent a migrating alignment.

3.0's, deavers, and bump kit is what you want.
Past that, go ahead and sell your first born and do it right.

Thisfar I have driven my Raptor for 77K Km mostly Highway with some occasional offroading. The suspension still works fine, allthough I'm getting now some vibrations in my steering column.
Therefore, I'm looking to change the suspension.
What is the best thing:
- staying standard and getting the current shocks serviced
- upgrading to Fox 3.0

I'm looking forward for your expert opinions.
