We talk a lot about suspension here at Stage 3. That's because we firmly believe that whether you're rolling in an F350 dually work truck, F150 Raptor, or Mustang, your ride can always benefit from a good suspension upgrade. Some of our suspension systems are designed to clear bigger off-road tires with little to no affect on performance. Others are made to get you over the most rugged terrain without a hitch. We also carry a huge selection of lowering springs and coilovers for your Mustang, Focus ST, Fiesta ST, or Focus RS. Read on to get Stage 3's top picks for your Ford's suspension system!

Stage 3's Top Suspension Picks

F150 Suspension Picks

Starting with the best-selling truck in America, the F150's factory suspension setup, like every other full-size pickup, is geared more for grocery hauling than braving it off the pavement. That's what makes a suspension upgrade an especially useful tool to improve performance, ride quality, and the overall look of your truck. We compared two of our absolute favorite suspension upgrades for the F150, ICON's 2.5 VS Remote Reservoir Front Coilovers and Fox's 2.5 Factory Series Reservoir Front Coilovers. While they're both phenomenal at what they do, the video below goes in depth about what to expect from each kit and which would better achieve your desired result. Under the comparison video, you'll find two videos reviewing each product individually to better inform your decision.

Super Duty Suspension Picks

The F150's bigger siblings, the Super Duty trucks, benefit from a wide variety of suspension upgrades from leveling kits to coilovers and replacement components like shocks and rear springs. We've put each of our many F250 and F350 project trucks through their fair share of suspension kits, some to greater effect than others. The ReadyLIFT 2.5" Front Leveling Kit was the first suspension upgrade we did with our 2017 F250 project, and it's since become one of our all-time most popular Super Duty upgrades. That being said, we think it's important to research and make the choice that's best for your specific build. That's why we put together this informative video about Super Duty leveling kits - check it out below!

Mustang & Focus Suspension Picks

Believe it or not, a fun fact about Stage 3 is that we actually got our start selling Roush parts. And while we've definitely been focusing on the off-roading scene with F150s and F250s, we'll never forget our lower, faster roots. In fact, we have a 2015 Mustang project as well as a 2016 Focus ST project we completed recently and we're super proud of both of them. If you aren't sure where to start with your Pony or hot hatch build, check out the following videos where we zero in on our favorite upgrade for each build.
