2021-2026 Raptor Mid Travel Front Suspension Kit with Fabricated Upper Arm - Gen 3

Description

A mid travel front suspension kit for every 2021–2026 Gen 3 Ford F-150 Raptor, with fabricated 4130 lower arms, fabricated 4130 upper arms and frame mounts. It is our race-proven front kit, with geometry optimized for both on-road and off-road driving.

The kit stays at stock Raptor width, so no fiberglass fenders are needed, and it keeps the stock spindle, factory tie rod and stock coil-over location. That lets you upgrade the arms now and add a bypass shock, sway bar, bump stops, a fabricated spindle or billet tie rods as the build grows.

What Is In The Kit

  • 2 fabricated lower A-arms with 1.5" uniballs, snap rings and spacers
  • 2 fabricated upper A-arms with 1.25" uniballs, 7/8" rod ends and spacers
  • Wheel position sensor mounts for the upper arms
  • 1 set of frame mounts for the upper shock tower
  • 1 set of limit straps and mounting tabs

Shocks are not included unless you select one in the options.

Why Upgrade To Mid Travel

The factory front arms are castings — a cast steel upper and a cast aluminum lower — designed for the stock travel and the stock load case. Fabricated 4130 arms with uniballs and rod ends change what the front end can take, and the revised geometry is tuned for the way a Raptor actually gets driven, on pavement and off.

Because the kit keeps the stock spindle, factory tie rod and the stock front coil-over location, you are not forced into a full long travel build to get there. You keep the stock spring tower structure, and every major upgrade can be added later on the same arms.

How It Is Built

  • Full 4130 fabricated lower arms, upper arms and frame mounts
  • FK rod ends and uniballs throughout, for quality, long-lasting parts
  • Lower arm designed with an integrated bump pad and limit strap mount
  • Stock Raptor width: no fiberglass fenders required

Shocks And Bypass

The kit works with the stock factory front coil shock or any aftermarket shock that fits in the stock location, so you keep the stock spring tower structure. Keep the Live Valve stock shock, or upgrade to the FOX aftermarket Live Valve coil-over with adjustable coil height.

The kit also allows a custom 3" external bypass shock that mounts to the lower arm, with a top add-on shock mount structure that links to the factory spring tower to further strengthen it. The bypass shock is a very specific layout that clears even a factory stock Raptor wheel, so it must be ordered with your kit. No other bypass shock will fit this kit.

Add-On Upgrades

Front sway bar kit

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

Front bump stop kit

The lower arm has the bump pad and limit strap mount built in. The bump stop system uses a 2.5" diameter, 2.5" stroke bump stop mounted directly to the frame.

Spindles and tie rods

The kit uses the stock front spindle, which can be upgraded to our fabricated spindle kit later. The factory tie rod works, or you can upgrade to a billet half or full tie rod kit.

Fitment

Fits all versions of the Gen 3 Ford F-150 Raptor, model years 2021 through 2026.

Installation

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

Options

Bypass shock: no bypass shock, or the FOX 3.0" custom bypass shock.

Add-on accessories: nothing added, or the bump stop mount with a FOX bump stop. Choosing the FOX option includes the FOX hydraulic bump stop with the kit.

Shocks must be selected in the options if you want them added to the kit.

Questions

Do I need fiberglass fenders?

No. The kit is stock Raptor width.

What are the factory Gen 3 front arms made of?

Castings. The factory front upper control arm is cast steel and the factory front lower control arm is cast aluminum, each with a sealed ball joint that cannot be serviced on its own. This kit replaces both with fabricated 4130 arms running replaceable uniballs and rod ends.

Can I keep my stock Live Valve shocks?

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

Can I use any bypass shock?

No. The bypass shock is a specific layout built to clear even a stock Raptor wheel, and it must be ordered with the kit. No other bypass shock will 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.

Does it fit a 2025 or 2026 Raptor?

Yes. The kit can be installed on all versions of the Gen 3 Raptor from 2021 to 2026.

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.
