    Suspension for f150

    Hey guys, it’s that time of year again and as the snow starts to melt I’m planning for another summer of overlanding. For the past year I’ve been running on 33’s with a 2” leveling kit but I’m tired of feeling like the truck is going to rattle apart when I’m going over 10mph off-road. I live in...

    Sweet, thanks for the tips. I know Yosemite will be packed but it's one of those things you've just got to see if you're in the area.

    2013 f150 What next?

    So I've got the wheels now. After a long weekend trip to Moab, I was very impressed with how they performed. I got 33" Falken Wild Peak ATs, also had a 2"F 1"R level installed for a little extra clearence. In your guys opinion, what should be next? I'm running a stock f150 with no upgrades...

    I just took my stock wheels off and replaces them with larger, AT tires. I go out nearly every weekend so swapping isn't really convienent for me. But yes, the cost of having a second vehicle, even if it's a cheap one adds up quickly

    Hey guys, I drive anywhere between 120 and 160 miles every day for work in my 5.0 f150. The price of gas is killingme, not to mention the value I'm taking off my truck by racking up the miles. Do you guys have a secondary vehicle for your EDD, or are your overland rigs your only vehicle? If you...

    Much advice needed!

    Would you mind linking your build thread if you've got one? Do you run into issues due to the long wheel base?

    Help me decide what size lift/tires for f150

    Thanks Ron! I want to be able to take up into the mountains (nothing crazy) Of you're familiar with Colorado, trails like hermit pass, cinnamon and egineer pass, sometimes venturing into Utah and going to Moab and whatnot. I am not interested in doing anything too steep or crawling over...

    Hello everyone! Please help me settle on a decision once and for all. Ive been back and forth on this topic for months now and can't decide what's best for me. First, I live in Colorado so dealing with alot of rocks, clearance is important. Secondly, my truck (2013) is also my daily driver...

    Hey thanks for the welcome! :) Truck is completely stock so the suspension is pretty garbage for off-road. Despite having stock wheels, it's done ok but I need more clearence. Can't decide between 33s and 2" level or go 35s and 4" lift.
