We’re kicking off phase one of our First Lite 2020 F150 Hunting Rig Build with a couple upgrades that’ll set this truck in the right direction to become a fully capable hunting rig and daily driver. Today we’re focusing on suspension, wheels, and tires. For suspension, we went ahead and installed a set of Bilstein B8 8112 Front Coilovers and Bilstein 8100 Rear Shocks. Bilstein’s 2015-2020 F150 8112 coilovers feature remote reservoirs for additional oil capacity and the ability to add up to 2.5” of lift which makes them the perfect solution for a do-it-all build that needs to be capable on the street while still tackling aggressive trails with ease. The Bilstein 8100 rear shocks are also designed to take a beating with dual bypass tubes that are independently adjustable for compression and rebound. This allows you to perfectly dial in your F150's ride for various types of off-road terrain or accommodate additional weight in the bed. The tires we chose for this rig are LT285/75R17 Falken Wild Peak All-Terrain A/T3Ws . Falken's Wild Peak A/T3W tires are one of the best options for combining a quiet and smooth ride on the highway with serious traction on rocks, mud, sand, or anything else you might get your truck into. Lastly, we bolted on some new 17x9” KMC Chase wheels with a satin black finish, modern-looking 8 spoke design and aggressively styled trim ring to complete the look. Stay tuned as we will continue to build out this truck!
