Gen 2 Protection Kits

• Underbody Skid Plate Kits — full-length engine, transmission, and front armor for 2017–2024 Raptor & Raptor R.
• Front Lower A-Arm Skid Plates — protect your control arms and ball joints from rock strikes.
• Rear Differential Skid Plates — shield the diff and cover on 2017–2025 Raptors (fits AFE, stock, and Ford Performance covers).
• Full-Length Aluminum Shock Guards — deflect rocks and debris away from your rear shock bodies.
• Rear Shock Mud Flap Frame Mounts — keep mud, rocks, and trail spray off your rear shocks and reservoirs.

We've spent more time under a Ford Raptor than anyone on the planet. Greg Foutz was the first to modify a Raptor and has won countless races in production stock trucks, so our skid plates and shock guards aren't guesses — they're race-proven hardware refined over years of real off-road abuse. Each kit is engineered for a precise factory fit, uses heavy-duty aluminum and steel, and bolts to existing mounting points so you can install it at home with common hand tools. American made, off-road tested, and backed by a team that actually drives what it builds.

These protection kits are designed for the Gen 2 Ford Raptor (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 F-150 Raptor). Several skid plates and shock guards in this collection also fit 2021–2025 Gen 3 / Gen 3.5 Raptor and Raptor R models — check each product page for exact year and configuration fitment before ordering. Not sure which kit is right for your build? Our team has the most Raptor experience in the industry and is happy to help you spec the right armor.

What years are the Gen 2 Ford Raptor?

The Gen 2 Ford Raptor covers the 2017 through 2020 F-150 Raptor. Foutz Motorsports protection kits are engineered specifically for these model years, and many parts also fit 2021–2025 Gen 3 and Gen 3.5 Raptors.

What protection does a Gen 2 Raptor need most for off-road?

The most exposed areas are the engine and transmission underbody, the front lower A-arms, the rear differential, and the rear shock bodies. A full underbody skid plate kit plus shock guards and a rear differential skid plate covers the components most likely to take a hit on rocks and high-speed desert terrain.

Are Foutz Motorsports skid plates made in the USA?

Yes. Every Foutz Motorsports protection kit is designed and manufactured in-house in the United States from heavy-duty aluminum and steel, then off-road and race tested before it ships.

Can I install these protection kits myself?

Yes. Our skid plates, shock guards, and diff plates are bolt-on parts that mount to factory locations and install with common hand tools. Install guides are available, and our team can answer fitment questions before you buy.

Do these parts also fit the Gen 3 Raptor or Raptor R?

Several items — including the full underbody skid plate kit, rear differential skid plate, and aluminum shock guards — are listed for both Gen 2 and Gen 3 / Raptor R applications. Always confirm fitment on the individual product page for your exact year and configuration.
