Performance You Can Feel
This full suspension kit is tuned for:
-
✅ Superior ride quality on pavement
-
✅ Mild towing applications
-
✅ Mild to moderate off-road use
-
✅ Increased stability and improved rear-end compliance
The updated suspension front suspension paired with progressive Deaver leaf springs and King 2.5” compression-adjustable shocks create a balanced system that soaks up washboard roads, controls body roll, and improves overall truck confidence—whether you're commuting, exploring desert trails, or hauling light loads.
Designed to Work as a Complete System
Together, these systems create a balanced front-to-rear suspension package that dramatically improves control, comfort, and off-road capability. Strength and ride quality are always the number one priority, and swapping over to the popular 05-16 Ford Super Duty Dana 60 axles has never been easier with this full bolt on suspension system. The new fabricated shock towers allow the installation of an 8" King coil-over shock and progressive polyurethane bump stops, without having to cut into factory plastic inner fender wells or weld anything to the frame.
