Has anyone tryed the Full Traction Suspension coil-over conversion for the superduty? - Diesel Forum

snosfun · 01-13-2008, 06:19 PM

Looking at maybe getting this kit. full traction suspension
Wondering how it performs and is worth it?
What shocks would a guy use for 4" lift?
Any info would be nice, there isn't much out there for this product.

I would definitely do a coil conversion if I did a lift.I'm jealous of the ride and turning radius of the '05 up. How much is it?

whitjo · 01-14-2008, 11:12 AM

would be a definite improvement, but the coilovers are gonna be another $300-$500 each to complete the install!
Also I'm not a big fan of bolt-on suspensions.
just my 2¢

Well it costs $2400 for the kit and like whitjo said you have to fork over $600-$1000 for shocks. Not cheap, but a new truck isn't cheap either. I already have a 4" lift kit but I'm sick of it riding like a lumber truck.

I have and it is amazing!!! I have the king coilovers and have the kit currently set at 8.5" Talk about riding 100% better!! Wow deff worth the $$$ if you plan on keeping your truck. I have noticed it also handles alot better as well. Getting ready to go up another 2.5". The coolest thing is it is adjustible from 4" to 11" max. I got all my stuff from Jesse Todd at Farmboy Fabrications great customer service and he really knows his stuff!!

Well, I did it. I called Jesse Todd and he got me all squared away.
It will be a couple weeks before I get the kit, but I will post pictures of the install.

Yep, it's a very nice product.
Real nice design and geometry.

King, Fox or SAW for the coilovers.

snosfun · 02-06-2008, 09:37 PM

I went with the SAW shock cause they match my truck.
