Gen 1 Protection Kits

Gen 1 Raptor protection kits built to take the hit so your truck doesn't. Foutz Motorsports engineers heavy-duty skid plates, shock guards, and differential armor for the 2010–2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (Gen 1) — shielding your suspension, differential, transmission, transfer case, and rear shocks from rocks, ruts, and high-speed desert hits. Designed, machined, and welded in the USA by the same team that built the first Raptor to race the Baja 1000.

Why Gen 1 Raptor owners run Foutz armor

The factory skid plates on a 2010–2014 Raptor were never meant for serious off-road abuse. When you hit whoops, climb rocks, or run washes at speed, the oil pan, transfer case, differential, and lower shock mounts are the first things to take damage. Our protection kits replace thin stamped steel with thick aluminum and steel armor that bolts to the factory mounting points — no cutting, no guesswork. Every kit is field-proven on race trucks and trail rigs, so you can wheel hard and keep driving home under your own power.

What's in this collection

Built for the 2010–2014 Ford Raptor

Every part in this collection is purpose-built for the Gen 1 Raptor platform. Foutz Motorsports has more hands-on experience with the Raptor family than anyone — we built the very first Raptor to race the Baja 1000 in 2009 and have been refining off-road protection ever since. Whether you're running the big whoops in the desert or just want peace of mind on the trail, this armor is engineered to outlast the truck.

Gen 1 Raptor Protection Kits — FAQ

What years does a Gen 1 Raptor cover?

The Gen 1 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor was produced from 2010 through 2014. All protection kits in this collection are designed specifically for those model years.

Do these skid plates fit the factory mounting points?

Yes. Foutz Gen 1 protection kits bolt directly to the Raptor's factory mounting locations — no drilling or cutting required. The underbody skid plate kit is offered in versions for the stock front skid plate as well as for aftermarket bumpers of all styles.

What does a skid plate protect on a Ford Raptor?

Our underbody armor protects the engine oil pan, transmission, and transfer case. Additional kits guard the rear differential, the rear shock bodies, and the lower rear shock mounts — the components most likely to be damaged during off-road use.

Are Foutz protection kits made in the USA?

Yes. Every Foutz Motorsports protection kit is designed and manufactured in the United States and built to race-proven standards.

Will heavy-duty skid plates add a lot of weight?

Our kits use aluminum where possible to balance maximum protection with minimal weight gain. For example, the full-length aluminum shock guards weigh roughly 21 lbs per pair, while the complete underbody skid plate kit is built heavier for true rock and impact protection.
