2017-2020 Gen 2 Raptor Rear Bed Cage Shock Tower - 20.25" wheel travel

Description

A tubular bed cage rear shock tower system for the 2017–2020 Gen 2 Ford F-150 Raptor, built from 1.5" diameter U.S. steel tubing and MIG welded in-house. Paired with the recommended custom 18" FOX bypass shocks, Deaver spring pack and extended shackles, it is capable of up to 20.25" of controlled rear wheel travel.

The factory rear shock mounts limit how long a shock the truck can run, and shock length sets how far the axle can travel. Moving the upper mounts into a through-the-bed tower makes room for a much longer bypass shock, so the rear can handle deep whoops, hard hits and high-speed terrain.

What Is In The Kit

  • Left and right shock towers
  • Weld-in crossmember between the towers
  • Grade 8 hardware (nuts, bolts, washers)
  • Under-frame mounting plate with additional weld-on support brackets
  • Aluminum spacers between the frame plate and lower shock tower mounts
  • Weld-on lower shock mount kit for the rear axle

Why A Bed Cage Shock Tower

Rear wheel travel on a leaf-sprung truck is capped by the shock. A shock can only extend and compress so far, and the factory mounting points leave no room for a longer one.

A bed cage tower carries the upper shock mounts up through the bed, tied together with a crossmember and anchored to the frame with a mounting plate and support brackets. With the matching lower shock mounts welded to the axle, there is room for an 18" travel bypass shock. Combined with the right spring pack and shackles, that is what gets the rear to 20.25" of travel.

How It Is Built

  • 1.5" diameter tubing
  • Top-grade U.S. steel
  • Every component MIG welded in-house
  • Grade 8 mounting hardware

Shocks, Springs And Shackles

The tower kit does not include shocks, springs or shackles. The recommended combination is:

  • Custom Deaver leaf spring pack
  • Extended 7" shackles
  • Custom 18" FOX bypass shocks

To reach the full 20.25" of rear travel, a custom 18" FOX bypass shock is required, specifically tuned for this setup. Shocks can be added when you order, in 3.0, 3.5 or 4.0 sizes, as a pair. The Deaver spring pack can be added on its own or together with 7" MIG welded shackles.

We also highly recommend pairing this kit with a hydraulic bump stop system for suspension control and protection.

Shock lead times depend on FOX production availability. Contact FMI for the current lead time.

Fitment

Fits the Gen 2 Ford F-150 Raptor, model years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Questions

How much rear wheel travel does this give?

Up to 20.25" of controlled rear wheel travel when used with the recommended custom 18" FOX bypass shocks, Deaver spring pack and extended 7" shackles.

Are shocks included?

No. Shocks, springs and shackles are not included in the base kit. They can be added as options when you order.

Can I reach 20.25" with a different shock?

No. The full 20.25" requires a custom 18" FOX bypass shock tuned for this setup.

Does it require welding?

Yes. The crossmember between the towers is weld-in, the under-frame mounting plate uses weld-on support brackets, and the lower shock mounts weld on to the rear axle.

What is it made from?

1.5" diameter tubing in top-grade U.S. steel, MIG welded in-house, with Grade 8 hardware.

How long will shocks take?

Shock lead times depend on FOX production availability. Contact FMI for the current lead time.
