These protection kits are designed for the third-generation (Gen 3) 2021–2025 Ford Raptor and Raptor R, with select skid plates and shock guards also fitting 2017–2020 Gen 2 Raptors and 2021–2026 models. Check each product page for exact year and configuration fit, and reach out to our team if you’re unsure which armor is right for your build.

Foutz Motorsports has been making off-road great since 1998. We were the first to modify a Ford Raptor and the first to race one in the Baja 1000 back in 2008, and no team on the planet has more experience with the Raptor family. Our protection kits are engineered from real race-truck punishment — not a parts-bin afterthought — so whether you’re hitting the big whoops or just the Starbucks drive-through, your Gen 3 stays protected and trail-ready. Every kit is designed to bolt on with no permanent modifications and is backed by our in-house manufacturing and support.

What protection kits does a Gen 3 Ford Raptor need most?

For the 2021–2025 Gen 3 Raptor, the most important protection is a full underbody skid plate kit (engine, transmission, and oil pan), a rear differential skid plate, and rear shock guards. Off-road owners who push hard should also add lower control arm skid plates and rear frame / lower link skid kits to protect the suspension mounting points.

Are Foutz Motorsports skid plates and guards made in the USA?

Yes. All Foutz Motorsports Gen 3 Raptor protection products are American made and manufactured in-house by the team that has been building off-road parts since 1998.

Do these protection kits require permanent modifications to install?

No. Our Gen 3 Raptor skid plates, shock guards, and frame protection are designed as bolt-on kits that install without cutting or permanent modification, using factory mounting points where possible.

Will Gen 3 Raptor protection kits fit the Raptor R?

Yes. These kits are engineered to fit both the 2021–2025 Ford Raptor and the Raptor R, with several skid plates and shock guards also covering 2017–2020 Gen 2 Raptors. Confirm fitment on each product page before ordering.
