Ford Raptor Suspension Kits - Raptor Long Travel Kits - Raptor Mid Travel Kits

This is the decision that governs everything else, and the honest answer depends on what the truck does the other 350 days a year.

Most people should buy mid travel. It is a genuine gain in wheel travel and damping without turning the truck into something you resent in a parking garage. Long travel is the right answer when the truck's job is speed over rough ground and you have accepted the tradeoffs.

Both are offered as bare kits if you already own shocks, or with shock packages valved for the kit by us.

Gen 1 Raptor (2010–2014)

Mid travel front kits with either a billet upper arm or a fabricated upper arm, and the +3" long travel front kit with fabricated upper arms.

Gen 2 Raptor (2017–2020) and 2015+ F-150

Mid travel front kit with billet upper arm, mid travel with fabricated upper arm, the +3" long travel front kit, and a long travel front kit listed for 2017 and up. Geiser +3" front springs are available for trucks running the wider geometry.

Gen 3 Raptor (2021–2026)

Mid travel front kits with billet or fabricated upper arms, and the +3" long travel front kit with fabricated upper arms.

Bronco and Bronco Raptor

Bronco Raptor (2022+) mid travel front kit, and a Bronco (2021+) +3" long travel front kit with fabricated upper control arm.

Ranger Raptor (2024+)

Mid travel front suspension kit, plus the rear long travel kit and fabricated adjustable rear upper arm listed below.

On a truck at speed the rear is usually what limits you, not the front. These are the kits that change that.

Leaf-sprung trucks — convert to a link rear

• Gen 1 Raptor and 2009–2014 F-150 — Long Travel 5-Link Rear Coilover Conversion, also offered in a version built for 19 inches of rear wheel travel.
• Gen 2 Raptor and 2015+ F-150 — Long Travel 5-Link Rear Coilover Conversion, and a 19 inch travel version.
• Gen 2 Raptor mid travel rear — 5-link mid travel rear kit with a thru-the-bed bypass shock.

Gen 3 Raptor — already coil-sprung, going longer

A Long Travel Rear Suspension Kit with 19 inches of travel, a Gen 2 to Gen 3 long travel rear conversion, 5-link rear arm frame mounts, and a full set of weld-on rear axle mounts sold individually — upper link, lower link, panhard bar and spring mounts, all in stock position.

For the panhard bar geometry that long travel demands: adjustable 41.5" heim joint panhard bar, long travel rear panhard bar mount kit rated to 21 inches of wheel travel, and matching frame and axle mounts.

Gen 1 to Gen 3

The Gen 1 to Gen 3 Conversion 5-Link Rear Arm Frame Mount Kit brings modern Gen 3 rear geometry to a 2010–2014 chassis.

Ranger Raptor

Rear Long Travel Suspension Kit, a fabricated adjustable rear upper arm, a long travel rear bed organizer, and a modular bed organizer side shock mount kit for running the shock through the bed.

A suspension kit and its shocks are one system. These are the packages we valve and sell against the kits above:

• FOX 3.0 Series 10" bypass, 3-tube, remote reservoir — sold left and right, with an FMI custom tube layout and valving specific to our front mid travel kits.
• ADS 3.0" x 10" travel 3-tube bypass front shock kit for Raptor mid travel suspension.
• ADS Racing 3" x 8" stroke 3-tube bypass — mid travel front shock kit, sold as a matched left and right pair.
• Geiser +3" front springs for Gen 2 trucks running wider front geometry.

Buying a race shock to bolt onto stock control arms is money spent in the wrong order. Geometry first, then damping. If you are unsure which way round to spend, call (480) 718-9800 and describe the truck and the terrain.

How much wheel travel will I actually get?

It depends on the kit. Our rear 5-link conversions for the Gen 1 and Gen 2 are built around 19 inches of rear wheel travel, and the Gen 3 long travel panhard components are rated to 21 inches. Front travel varies by kit and by shock; the figures are listed per product.

Is a rear conversion a bolt-on?

No. The 5-link and long travel rear conversions require welding and proper fixturing. This is shop-level work. We do it in-house in Mesa if you would rather bring us the truck.

Can I install a front mid travel kit myself?

Mid travel front kits use the stock frame mounting points and are within reach of a competent home mechanic with the right tools and a way to safely support the truck. Get it aligned afterwards, without exception.

Do I need new shocks with a mid travel kit?

Not necessarily, but the kit is designed around a longer-travel shock and you will not see the full benefit on the factory unit. Bare kits exist precisely so owners who already have shocks are not made to buy twice.

Will a long travel kit still fit down a trail?

It is 3 inches wider per side. On open desert that is irrelevant; on a tight tree-lined trail it is not. This is the single most common regret we hear about, which is why we push people toward mid travel unless they genuinely need the width.

Do you build kits for trucks not listed here?

Custom and one-off fabrication is a normal part of what this shop does. Call and tell us what you are building.

How long does shipping take?

In-stock items normally ship within 48 hours. Complete suspension kits and custom-valved shock packages are commonly built to order at 4–6 weeks. We ship to the United States and Canada.
