2021-2026 Gen 3 Raptor +3" Long Travel Front Suspension Kit with Fabricated upper arm

• +3" fabricated upper control arms
• Bypass shock tower

• +3" billet tie rod kit. The half tie rod is the standard option for this kit; the image shows the full billet version.

• +3" fabricated lower control arms

• Custom heavy duty extended 4340 front half shafts that use the stock CV joints
• Stainless braided brake line kit with custom FMI hard line mount tabs
• Limit strap kit

Wheel travel at the front is limited by geometry. Longer arms swing through a flatter arc, so the wheel can move further up and down before the CV joints, steering and shock run out of range. Lengthening every component by 3" per side is what lets this kit increase wheel travel by 15% while keeping the truck stable at speed and on rough ground.

The kit is built so the rest of the truck survives that extra travel. Steering stops keep the CV joints from over-traveling, the extended half shafts are 4340 heat treated steel, and the stock coil-over mount stays where Ford put it so the Live Valve system keeps working.

• Fabricated upper and lower arms made from 4130 and MIG welded
• Lower arm: 1.5" uniball at the spindle and 1" uniballs at the frame, for constant, predictable handling
• Upper arm: 1.5" uniball at the spindle and 7/8" rod ends at the frame, for adjustable caster and camber
• 17-4 stainless uniball spacers
• Built-in steering stops so you don't over-travel the CV joints
• Retains the stock coil-over shock mount and location, so the Live Valve system keeps working
• Also works with aftermarket stock-fitment replacement coil-overs
• Added bypass shock mount for a timed bypass shock, with a custom FOX 3.0 or ADS 3.0 bypass shock built to FMI's specific layout for this kit
• Fabricated bypass shock tower that integrates with the stock shock bucket to add strength and keep correct shock clearance
• Integrated sway bar mounts for the FMI sway bar kit, which can be added at any time
• Built-in front limit strap mounts
• Front bump stop pad integrated into the arm, so a bump stop can be added at any time
• Works with the stock front upright or our heavy duty fabricated front upright
• Works with stock Raptor wheels
• 100% CAD designed to confirm correct cycle and design

Front half shafts: our custom extended half shafts are made from 4340 heat treated steel for strength, ductility, fracture toughness and fatigue resistance.

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

• Tested to clear 35", 37" and 39" tires from full bump to full droop.
• Wider fiberglass fenders are required. Stock Raptor front fenders will not clear with this kit. The tire size you choose determines how much wider a fender you need.
• The extended 4340 half shafts use stock CV joints. Depending on your truck's year, you may need the 2021–2023 Gen 3 CV joints to work with the extended axle.

Watch the front suspension cycle with this kit:

This +3" long travel system requires some fabrication and modification to reach the kit's full capability.

• Before installation: a qualified professional fabricator is recommended to install the bump stop and bypass shock tower, because welding on the frame is required.
• Before installation: the kit requires a fiberglass fender kit to clear the tire. Stock Raptor front fenders will not clear.
• After installation: it is highly advised to have the truck realigned by a shop technician familiar with long travel. +3 wider fiberglass fenders are required.

Bump stop kit: none, FOX bump stop and mount, or ADS bump stop and mount. Choosing FOX or ADS includes that hydraulic bump stop with the kit.

Bypass shock: shock mount only with no bypass shock, FOX 3.0" bypass and shock mount, or ADS 3.0" bypass and shock mount. The bypass shocks offered with this kit are built to FMI's specific layout; the mounts may not work with other off-the-shelf bypass shocks.

Not ready for the shock tower and bump stop yet? You still get the long travel experience, and the kit is designed so you can add the bump stop, bypass shock and limit strap later.

Optional add-on: Front Sway Bar Kit (for FMI Fabricated LCA).

How much wider is the truck?

Each side is 3" longer than stock, for 6" of total width over the stock Raptor front.

How much more wheel travel does it give?

The kit is designed to increase wheel travel by 15%.

Will my stock fenders fit?

No. Stock Raptor front fenders will not clear. +3 wider fiberglass fenders are required, and the size depends on your tire.

What tire sizes does it clear?

It was tested to clear 35", 37" and 39" tires from full bump to full droop, with the required fiberglass fenders.

Can I keep my Live Valve shocks?

Yes. The kit retains the stock coil-over shock mount and location so the Live Valve system keeps working. It also works with aftermarket stock-fitment replacement coil-overs.

Can I use any bypass shock?

No. The mounts are designed to work with the FMI-specific bypass shocks offered with this kit and may not work with other off-the-shelf bypass shocks. Contact FMI for more information on bypass shock fitment.

Is the bump stop included?

Choosing the FOX or ADS bump stop option includes that hydraulic bump stop and its mount. With "None" selected, no bump stop is included, and the integrated bump stop pad lets you add one later.

Does it work with stock wheels?

Yes. The kit works with stock Raptor wheels.

Does it require welding?

Yes. The bump stop and bypass shock tower require welding on the frame, and a qualified professional fabricator is recommended.

Rear suspension. Pair this front kit with our Gen 3 Cantilever Kit or our through-the-bed long travel kit so the rear keeps up with the front.

Rear axle width. We worked with Currie Enterprises to supply custom-built fabricated rear axle housing kits up-fit to work with the Gen 3 rear 5-link suspension. Our team custom fits the correct mounting tabs and mounts for the Gen 3 Raptor. We suggest matching the +3" front with a rear axle that is 3" wider per side. Leaving the rear axle at stock width will cause the truck to handle poorly, especially when turning at higher speeds.

Lower arm pockets. Our lower arm pocket replacement kit strengthens the front lower pockets where the +3" lower control arm attaches. That front pocket is the one that typically takes damage when the front suspension stuffs and makes contact with the ground. The kit replaces that thin sheet metal section with a thicker chromoly pocket with added gussets, as a repair or before you see frame damage.
