Do Coilovers Really Make a Difference in Ride Quality?

[@charleshenson4183]

Can't wait to get my lift. Definitely going with the vertex coil overs

[@KickinItWithQ]

Nice man! Definitely made truck ride smoother

[@clinth479]

I watched a couple videos with the water test, and found I get a better idea of how it rides when the wife is in the passenger seat. She provides that honest feedback. I did test it on different settings on my recent trip to Abilene and I'm a fan of 3 in the front and 4 in the back.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Yea three in the front is my preference as well. Yea the water test pretty tough to see. Oh yea the wife always keeps it Real lol

Kev what’s up brother love the content i drive a F150 13 lifted nothing special but i also live in Texas and you motivating me to get something bigger bro lol keep doing what you doing

[@KickinItWithQ]

Lol! Hey man go for it lol. I appreciate you watching bro. Texas connection 🤟

[@yaddi3434]

I like 3. Hell any of them are better than those spacers. I’m not coming up out of my seat on big dips anymore!

[@brenthendershot5727]

I went from 2.5 lvl with 22x12x33 to a 4in RC with lifted struts and Monotube V2 rear shocks and I am amazed with the better ride quality. Soo much smoother. The Vertex coil overs are next after I get some time with these

[@KickinItWithQ]

Nice! Glad you enjoy them bro. You’ll love the vertex

[@cowboy-wr5jt]

Q, you rock!!! Love the vids. Keep it coming

[@KickinItWithQ]

Yo! Thanks man! I appreciate that and for watching the videos 💯🤝

2015 f150 ecoboost 4x4 with just 5100 Bilstein in all 4 feel much better then stock. i am thinking of getting Fox Kit for all 4

[@KickinItWithQ]

Man I hear some say bilsteins are better than the fox

[@Mike-bb1li]

I am getting on my front with my 6 inch lift BDS fox 2.0 in the rear and 2.0 struts in front Coil and shock only. Fox performance shocks.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Nice! Man! Going to be dope

[@darrenking5665]

Sorry did not specify I have a 16 5.0 with a 6 inch RC kit have the vertex coil overs waiting to install as I now think I’m going to replace upper arms at the same time. Just would like some feed back on what arms to use

[@KickinItWithQ]

There are only a few options Icon, BDS, Rancho, Tuff Country and Rough country for the f150s. I may have missed one but yea those are the most common

[@joshuachapa8658]

My G! Glad to see more content. 🤙🏽 STXCCTX YeeetYeeet

[@KickinItWithQ]

Yes sirr! Preciate you watching bro!!

[@lrh131]

Mmmm I wonder if there’s a difference. I have the vertex coil overs on my shocks and struts on the silverado

[@mx_ata2d642]

Sorry if it's been asked but,, what is your exact set up? Lift height, shocks, wheel and tire size? Thanks

[@KickinItWithQ]

6in lift. Added coilovers now at about 7-7.5in of lift. Shocks are rough country vertex coilovers. Wheels 24x12. Tires 37x13.5

[@mx_ata2d642]

@@KickinItWithQ thanks. I just picked up a 2021 ford f150 platinum 4X4. I've been trying to figure out if I'm going with a 4" or 6" coilover. I like your finished height so I think I'm going with the 6" now.

[@martingixxer4107]

GREAT fucking video man. I've been looking for this exact kind of feedback. I have a 21 Tundra 4x4 and I like my front set to 3 and rears set to 2 or 1.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Glad you enjoyed the video man! Yea I run my fronts at 3 as well.

[@martingixxer4107]

Have you tested offroad yet?

[@KickinItWithQ]

@@martingixxer4107 nah my truck isn’t a off road build. Definitely a pavement King lol

[@darrenking5665]

Can you tell me what upper control arms you used

[@KickinItWithQ]

I have BDS upper control arms

[@michaelsalvatore2984]

I have a 2016 f150 single cab I want to lower my truck but don’t want to buy junk any recommendations?

[@KickinItWithQ]

Sorry man! I’ve never dealt with lowering a truck. Definitely search around on KZbin

[@cnfrisch]

Did you calibrate the tire air pressure of all four tires?

[@KickinItWithQ]

Yep shop did it all

[@merking2001]

I always said between 3 to 5 suits my driving style. A lot less roll overall especially when braking. If I have to hit bump on the road less likely to bottom out. On a long road trip I can see 2 as a setting just to soften the ride but for daily driving 3 to 5. Just my 2 cents. Either way, I love the fact the I can choose.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Exactly! That’s what I love about them. Can adjust however you

[@robinthrill3r7]

I just did 3 to 5 for weapons charges.. not cool. ..

[@spaceghost5.0]

Does changing those numbers adjust the height too?

[@KickinItWithQ]

No it doesn’t. Only the dampening

[@Marcos-S316]

I think you should ride them all for a few days each. I bet you will end up on 5 when you get done testing.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Yea that definitely might give me better feel

[@Marcos-S316]

@@KickinItWithQ Video idea. How do they feel when stopping hard? Will setting them to 8 improve stopping? Will setting them on 1 throw you through the windshield?

[@KickinItWithQ]

Haha great question I’d assume it wouldn’t dive as much with them being set stiffer. But definitely will keep this video in mind

[@blakehowes7971]

Q I got a question for you, not sure if you know the answer to this. I have seen other people with these coilovers installed, but sometimes I see them with that silver reservoir hose facing the rear side, meaning the hose goes under the upper control arm that faces the back of the truck whereas I noticed your hose goes under the upper control arm that faces the front of the truck. Do you think there is a difference or potentially one way is incorrect?

[@KickinItWithQ]

What’s up man! No it doesn’t matter my buddy has his face and the opposite way of mind you just have to make sure you have enough clearance with the reservoir hoes running under the control arms

[@blakehowes7971]

@@KickinItWithQ alright cool, I just got mine installed and noticed they were opposite so I wanted to double check, I am loving them so far!

[@buffalobmf]

Yes stiffer the suspension the less body roll there is. You will feel it mostly going to on and off ramps.
