Sweetness, I just noticed that DBR finally has a long travel 4x4 system for the 04-08 F150 coming out too. Not that I need it or can afford it, but it is good to see!
The thing I don't like about their kit compared to some others is that DBR uses a high angle upper balljoint instead of a uni-ball setup. People claim the high angle balljoints hold up okay though.

I wouldn't consider it "jumpable" with just the front shock upgrades. With the long travel kit and deavers, yeah.
However it will ride a hell of a lot better on rough terrain at speed. I mean you could jump it but I wouldn't do it much without more travel, limit straps and some different bump stops maybe..?

what about BTF uppers instead?

Hell I would be happy with those front shocks and a set of Deavers in the rear. That would make those fire roads fly by.
$1000 and you could have a half decent suspension setup.
Wonder what brand of shocks those are?

Camburg makes a similar upper arm for the F150 that's $600...
You could buy a lot of moog upper control arms for that price, but everyone says the front end is much tighter with the upper uni-*****. Of course anyone would say that if they're replacing worn out ball joints, so who knows.
