2017-2020 Gen 2 Raptor Fabricated Front Spindle Kit
Description
Description
A fabricated front spindle (upright) kit for the 2017–2020 Gen 2 Ford F-150 Raptor, built around a CNC machined 2" thick backing plate with 4130 construction and stock ball joint tapers. It is built specifically for the Gen 2 and works with its standard vacuum 4x4 actuator module.
The spindle is where the arms, brakes, steering and hub all meet, so flex there shows up everywhere else. Because it keeps the stock ball joint tapers, it works with your stock upper and lower arms today and with upgraded arms later, so you can change the front end in stages instead of all at once.
Why A Fabricated Spindle
Everything at the corner of the truck bolts to the spindle: the upper and lower ball joints, the brake caliper, the tie rod and the hub. Every landing, every braking load and every hit to the tire passes through it, and any flex in it moves the brake and the steering relative to the wheel.
This upright is built around a 2" thick CNC machined primary backing plate that carries the brake caliper mounts, for strength and less flex in the upright assembly. The ball joint mounts are machined 4130, so the tapers stay strong and durable, and steering stops are built in to protect the steering and the CV joints.
How It Is Built
- 2" thick CNC machined primary backing plate incorporating the brake caliper mounts.
- 4130 sheet metal parts, MIG welded.
- Machined 4130 ball joint mounts with stock ball joint tapers for the upper and lower arms.
- Built-in steering stops to protect the steering and CV joints.
- Hammer black finish, the only finish offered.
