An F150 destined for off-road desert running needs a suspension system, wheels, and tires that can handle it, and true to form, we at Stage 3 did not skimp when it came to the core components of our King of the Desert Project Build. True to its name, our build rocked King 2.5 front coilovers, King 2.5 rear shocks, big Toyo R/T Hybrid Tires, and extra-strong and stylish fifteen52 wheels. With powerful suspension, tires that perform well on and off-road, and wheels that can handle the strain, our King of the Desert Build was nigh-unstoppable.

King's OEM Performance Series 2.5 coilovers offer up improved rebound, better compression, up to 25% increased travel, and greatly reduced fade over the stock struts which gives this truck an all-around bump in performance for being driving on and off-road. 2015-2020 F150 4WD King OEM Performance Series 2.5 Remote Reservoir Front Coilovers

LT305/70R17 Toyo Open Country R/T Rugged Terrain Tire

Making sure this truck is fully capable to hit the dunes made these Toyo Open Country tires a simple choice for our 2019 F150 XLT. The Toyo Open Country R/Ts offer up a blend of off-road performance and on-road ride comfort by making the shoulders of each tire fairly aggressive, leaving the interior tread optimized for on-road comfort.

The Traverse HD Wheel from Fiften52 is one of the most unique and aggressive light truck wheels on the market, recently Fifteen52 has become one of our "Must Have" wheel brands and that's due in part to the fact that these Monoblock cast aluminum wheel is extremely tough and will survive whatever application we have in mind, while the black finish goes perfect with this F150's Abyss Grey finish. Unfortunately, we no longer carry this specific set of wheels, but we have a variety of 17x8.5" wheels to suit your build.

2004-2021 F150 Grimm OffRoad Tubular Uniball Upper Control Arms

Awesome F150 builds that are going to see off-road use or are getting a fairly tall level may find out the hard way that the factory stamped steel upper control arms (UCAs) and their rubber ball joint just aren't up to the task. Grimm OffRoad's Tubular Uniball UCAs for 2004-2020 F150s give your aggressive F150 build vastly improved strength over stock while also increasing coil spring clearance and adding a bit of extra travel to make your F150 that much more capable when you head off the beaten path. Each set of Grimm OffRoad UCAs are built around an extremely strong uniball joint that's far stronger than stock and can handle far more abuse without shearing than a standard rubber ball joint. The arms themselves are made out of strong, tubular steel and are shaped to provide more spring clearance than stock to help your truck avoid spring contact with a 2" or taller leveling kit or set of coilovers. 2015-2020 F150 Grimm OffRoad Tubular Uniball Upper Control Arms
