2017-2026 Gen 2 & Gen 3 Raptor Lower Control Arm Pocket Replacement Kit - Standard

Description

A weld-in lower control arm pocket replacement kit for the 2017–2020 Gen 2 and 2021–2026 Gen 3 Ford F-150 Raptor and Raptor R, made from 4130 chromoly. It replaces and reinforces the frame pockets where the lower control arms attach, one of the most stressed suspension points on the truck.

That area takes the brunt of hard hits during aggressive off-roading, especially on trucks with aftermarket bumpers. When the edge of the pocket is exposed, it is more prone to rolling or ripping off on impact, which can lead to structural damage or complete failure.

What Is In The Kit

Pockets are shipped raw.

Why Replace The Lower Arm Pockets

The lower control arm pockets are the frame brackets that hold the front of the suspension to the truck. Every hard hit the front wheels take is fed through them, which makes them one of the most stressed suspension points on the truck.

The risk is highest when the edge of the pocket is exposed, especially on trucks with aftermarket bumpers. An exposed edge is more prone to rolling or ripping off on impact, which can lead to structural damage or complete failure.
