2017-2020 Gen 2 Raptor 5-Link Mid Travel Rear Suspension Kit with Thru the bed Bypass Shock

Want to enhance the performance and capability of your Gen 2 Raptor? Our new 5-Link Bed Cage Kit lets you upgrade your rear suspension to use 3.5x16” bypass or 4.0x16" bypass shocks for improved travel, handling, and overall off-road performance.  With nearly 17" of rear wheel travel controlled by a high quality bypass shock this kit works amazing.

This kit converts your Gen 2 to Gen 3 rear suspension geometry and links, giving you full flexibility to use stock Gen 3 take-off components, aftermarket upgrades, or our premium billet aluminum rear links and Panhard bar. You can mix and match shocks, springs, and link options to create your ideal setup.

Other Questions:

• Yes you can use our Gen 3 Raptor rear bump stop kit with this kit.
• Yes this kit will work with both 35" and 37" tire trucks with no problem.
• Yes this kit will work with our rear axle diff skid and rear shock skids 
  
• This kit will only work in stock Raptor width.  You cant use this on a standard regular F150 without getting a Raptor width rear axle and wider rear body.  The stock rear springs and Panhard bar wont clear on the narrower standard F150 width.

Important Notes

• Single lay down tire will work without the rear cargo section, or with the fixed rear cargo section but it is not compatible with our upgraded slide out cargo tray kit due to the offset height of the slide out tray.
  
  
• Shock Availability has been a struggle.  You can order the shocks with your kit from us but if you do please check with our sales representative for timing and availability.  Or you can purchase the off the shelf shock from any other vendor if you want to go that route also.
