2017+ Ford Raptor Suspension Upgrades

Four Levels of Front Suspension

Stronger stock-width parts. Billet upper arm kits, fabricated upper arms and fabricated lower control arms at factory width. No fender work, no alignment surprises.
Billet top hats. A direct replacement for the factory shock top mount, in stock height, 1.5" lift (Phase 1) or 2" lift (Phase 2), each offered in standard and heavy-duty. These work with the factory shock, so they are the cheapest way to gain stance and tire clearance.
Mid travel. Complete front kits with either a billet or a fabricated upper arm, adding travel while keeping the truck close to factory width.
Long travel. The +3" Long Travel Front Suspension Kit with fabricated upper arm, or Geiser spring fronts in +2.5" and +3".

Reinforcement Parts

These trucks crack in predictable places once the miles add up. We build the fixes: lower control arm pocket replacement kits, lower arm rear pivot reinforcement brackets, the front shock tower support ring kit, and the Gen 2 spring tower corner weld-in support gusset. Coil bucket conversion kits are available to bring a 2015+ F-150 or a Gen 1 Raptor up to Gen 2 coil bucket geometry.

Rear Suspension

TIG and MIG welded shackles, rear bump stop kits, rear lower shock skid kits, the Long Travel 5-Link Rear Suspension Conversion with 19 inches of travel, and the rear bed cage shock tower built for 20.25 inches of wheel travel.

Steering

Billet tie rod kits and billet half tie rod kits covering 2010 through 2026 Raptors, plus 16mm tie rod support sleeves.

Raptor Suspension FAQs

What is the difference between mid travel and long travel?

Mid travel adds wheel travel while keeping close to factory track width, so it bolts on with far less work. Long travel widens the track and adds significantly more travel, which means more fabrication, a wider stance and usually new fenders or bulges. Mid travel is the right answer for most street-driven trucks.

Do billet top hats need new shocks?

No. Stock height, 1.5" and 2" versions all run the factory shock. That is the point of them.

Should I upgrade control arms or shocks first?

If the truck is stock and you drive it hard, arms and reinforcement first. The factory ball joint and the arm pockets are the weak links, and better shocks put more load through both.

Do Gen 2 parts fit a Gen 3 Raptor?

Some do, many do not. Tie rods, some skids and certain reinforcement parts cross over. Arms, spindles and coil buckets do not. Each product page lists exact year and generation fitment.
