2010-2014 Gen 1 Raptor Mid Travel Front Suspension Kit with Fabricated Upper Arm

Description

A mid travel front suspension kit for the 2010–2014 Gen 1 Ford F-150 Raptor, with fabricated 4130 lower and upper arms and frame mounts. The kit stays at stock Raptor width, so no fiberglass is required and the factory tie rod still works.

The suspension geometry has been optimized for on and off-road driving. The kit keeps the stock spring tower, stock spindle and stock shock location, and it is built to grow: add a bypass shock, sway bar, bump stops, an upgraded spindle or billet tie rods when you are ready.

What Is In The Kit

  • 2 fabricated lower A-arms with 1.5" uniballs, snap rings and spacers
  • 2 fabricated upper A-arms with 1.5" uniballs, 7/8" rod ends and spacers
  • 1 set of frame mounts for the upper shock tower
  • 1 set of limit straps and mounting tabs
  • 1 set of Gen 1 to Gen 2 shock bucket conversion kit

Shocks must be selected if you want to add them to the kit.

Why Mid Travel

Mid travel is the step between stock arms and a full long travel build. New arms and geometry improve how the front end works, but the truck stays at stock Raptor width, so there is no fiberglass to buy and the factory tie rods and spindles carry over.

Because the kit keeps the factory shock location and spring tower structure, you can run it on the stock shock today and add a bypass shock later, without rebuilding the front end a second time.

Shocks And Bypass

The kit works with the stock factory front coil shock or any aftermarket shock that fits the stock location, so the stock spring tower structure stays in place.

The kit also allows you to add a custom 3" external bypass shock that mounts to the lower arm, with a top add-on shock mount structure that ties into the factory spring tower to further strengthen it.

The bypass shock uses a very specific layout so it clears even a factory stock Raptor wheel. It must be ordered with your kit to ensure correct fit. Choose the FOX custom 3.0" bypass shock option when you order.

How It Is Built

  • Full 4130 fabricated lower and upper arms
  • FK rod ends and uniballs
  • Bump pad and limit strap mount integrated into the lower arm
  • Stock Raptor width

Add-Ons And Upgrades

Front bump stop. The lower arm has the bump pad and limit strap mount built in. The system uses a 2.5" diameter, 2.5" stroke bump stop mounted directly to the frame. Choose the "Bump Stop Mount - Fox bump" add-on to include it.

Front sway bar. The add-on Gen 1 front sway bar kit uses race quality components and is designed to fit alongside the bypass shock. It also adds support to the rear lower A-arm mount, which is inherently weak in stock condition.

Spindle and tie rods. The kit keeps the stock front spindle, which can be upgraded later. The factory tie rod works, or you can upgrade to a billet aluminum half or full tie rod kit.

Fitment

2010–2014 Gen 1 Ford F-150 Raptor, all versions.

The kit includes a Gen 1 to Gen 2 shock bucket conversion kit.

Installation

This kit requires cutting and welding and must be installed by a qualified fabricator. Call Foutz Motorsports for details.

Questions

Do I need fiberglass fenders?

No. The kit is stock Raptor width.

Can I keep my stock shocks?

Yes. It works with the stock factory front coil shock or any aftermarket shock that fits the stock location.

Can I add the bypass shock later?

The bypass layout is very specific to clear a stock Raptor wheel, so the shock must be ordered with your kit to ensure correct fit.

Is the bump stop included?

Only if you choose the "Bump Stop Mount - Fox bump" add-on, which includes the FOX hydraulic bump stop with its mount. Without it, the bump pad on the lower arm is ready for one to be added later.

Do I keep the stock spindle and tie rods?

Yes. Both carry over, and either can be upgraded later.

Is it bolt-on?

No. It requires cutting and welding and must be installed by a qualified fabricator.

ANODIZED CARE & DISCLAIMER:   read before ordering
⚠️ WARNING:
 Improper cleaning can permanently damage the anodic coating on billet aluminum parts, causing fading, staining, or discoloration. 

SOAPS / CLEANERS THAT DAMAGE :
High-pH (alkaline) soaps, degreasers, and acidic wheel cleaners can fade, stain, or strip anodized aluminum, especially when they contain sodium hydroxide (lye) or other strong acids. Heavy-duty fast-acting alkaline cleaners designed for engine bays or wheels should not be used on anodized surfaces.

❌ WHAT TO AVOID :
High-pH (alkaline) cleaners
• Heavy-duty degreasers
• Wheels / engine bay cleaners
• Oven cleaners (e.g., Yellow Cap, Easy-Off)
• Products containing sodium hydroxide (lye)
• Damage the anodic coating 
Hot Surfaces
• Never wash in direct sunlight, as heat accelerates chemical damage
 Acidic cleaners
• Wheel cleaners with strong acids
• Nitric or sulfuric-based cleaners
• Aggressive aluminum cleaners
 Aluminum brighteners or etchers

• Products designed for raw or polished aluminum can strip the anodized coating

✅ HOW TO PROTECT ANODIZED ALUMINUM:

pH-neutral soaps 
• only use cleaners with a pH between 6–8
Wash on cool surfaces
• Avoid direct sunlight or hot parts
Test small areas first
• Always try new products on a small, hidden area
Safe Alternatives:
• Isopropyl alcohol (used carefully and sparingly)
• Mild Automotive Car Wash Soap

⚠️ RESPONSIBILITY NOTICE:
Damage caused by improper cleaning chemicals or detailing products is the sole responsibility of the owner. Keeping your anodized parts clean with the right products will help maintain their finish and extend their lifespan.
