Just bought a set of RXT leaves with the camburg extended shackles and I will post a review when I get those installed! Strongly recommend budgeting for the rear when doing the front (and vice versa) as the front is now so plush compared to the stock rear end that it makes me not even want to...
Rear:
Disclaimer: There may be discontinued rear suspension options that are mentioned in other forum posts or on other trucks but are not included in this list because they are no longer regularly sold.

On the raptors, there is a lift block that adds approximately 2” of lift on...
I neglected to add ADS or companies such as Sway A Way only because they sell much more limited quantities and I could not find multiple sources of published empirical data on them. They also charge nearly the same money, or more, as compared to Fox, King, or Icon, so why not go with a more...
As far as I know, the Viton seals are included in all of the Fox Factory Series shocks, included in the King Pure Race shocks, and optional in the King Performance shocks.
That is what I had meant by the Icons. I meant to say “as the shock compressed faster”. That was a typo on my part. Thanks for the correction. And yes, the OEM replacement King coilovers for the Gen one aren’t IBP, but you can get a custom order set from King that are.
I figured I would make a thread detailing all (to my knowledge) of the available Gen 1 suspension options for both front and rear including approximate pricing and pros/cons. I spent weeks compiling information from multiple forums so I could make my own decision and thought it might help...
Thanks! If it would be helpful to anyone I will start a thread detailing pricing and objective disadvantages and advantages of all of the suspension options as it took me weeks of searching multiple forums to finally make a decision.
Absolutely. A relevant piece of objective information is that the Fox shocks are position sensitive and have far more damping zones than the Kings. However, to me it was not worth losing the extra piston size.
Meironman207,
Price was also a factor. I bought the set for $2550 shipped and adjustable Fox 3.0’s would’ve been $300 more. Fox only sells the finned reservoirs as a separate add on upgrade and that would’ve added hundreds of dollars.

The King bypasses can get noisy but they have allegedly fixed that. I haven’t done the rears yet as I am saving funds to do a bed cage and deavers at the same time. The King coilovers don’t make any noise.
I went with the Kings because the Fox 3.0’s don’t actually have a 3” piston, they...
Thanks! Poly Performance hooked it up on pricing and I can anecdotally recommend them for shock purchases. Everyone else was 8-12 weeks out and most didn’t even carry the finned resi’s. Paid over the phone and they were at my door 2 days later.
New Raptor owner here: 2011 SCAB with 116k. Bought it in early July and have since replaced the blown stock front shocks with King 3.0’s with finned reservoirs and Camburg uniball UCA’s. What a massive difference! 2 foot whoops are pillow soft. Can’t wait to do the bedcage with Deavers and some...
