I believe Carli & Icon are the best for overall performance off road and on road ride. While I have not had a Carli Suspension on my Ford (yet). I know w/ my Dodge that had the Carli 2.5 w/ thier full leafs, ball joints & S/S. It ate everything I threw at it in the dez (whoops, washouts & controlled landings). On road was night and day to stock, especially expansion joints. I know thier suspension on the Fords will be top notch like the suspensions they offer on the Dodge. Great customer service from Sage, Baja Mike & Jessie and do a lot of tough R&D w/ thier components before released to the public.
I did ride in a Icon 4.5 System in a '08 Ford SD. It rode pretty damn good on road and off road it was capable for mild to moderate stuff (only as good as the standard shocks that come in the kit). Throw some 2.5" shocks or coilovers on it (or bigger). It will stay up w/ the Carli Suspension.
So, I will be getting a mix of Icon & Carli components from thier 4.5" Systems. Best of both worlds.
Of course some people like higher lifts than the 4.5" range. So it's a personal preference on that, but if you want to take speeds off road. Then the Icon or Carli is the ticket.
