Gen 1 Raptor Suspension

Gen 1 Raptor Suspension — 2010–2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

Build a faster, tougher, more capable Gen 1 Raptor. Foutz Motorsports Gen 1 Raptor suspension upgrades the 2010–2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor with everything from bolt-on bump stops and limit straps to full long-travel front kits, 5-link rear conversions, and Gen 1-to-Gen 3 suspension swaps. Whether you're chasing more wheel travel, eliminating bottom-out, or building a Baja-ready pre-runner, this is where the Gen 1 Raptor build starts.

We've been building Raptor parts longer than anyone — Foutz Motorsports was the first to modify a Ford Raptor and the first to race one in the Baja 1000 back in 2009. That race-proven experience goes into every suspension component we make.

Why Upgrade Your Gen 1 Raptor Suspension?

The factory Gen 1 Raptor suspension is good off the lot, but it limits travel, bottoms out hard, and uses components that weren't built for high-speed desert abuse or oversized tires. The right suspension upgrade transforms how the truck rides, handles, and survives. Benefits include:

• More wheel travel — long-travel and mid-travel kits dramatically increase front and rear travel over stock
• No more bottom-out — hydraulic bump stops and limit straps control the end of the stroke
• Stronger components — billet upper arms, fabricated lower A-arms, and spindles built for impacts
• Better shocks — Fox 3.0 coilovers and bypass shocks valved specifically for Foutz kits
• Modern geometry — Gen 1-to-Gen 3 conversions let you run the latest Raptor rear suspension design
