2021-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor Billet Rear Lower Trailing Arms - Uniball Version

Description

Billet aluminum rear lower trailing arms for the 2021–2026 Ford F-150 Raptor and Raptor R, on 1" FK uniballs. Sold as a pair with spacers and hardware, CNC machined in-house in Mesa, Arizona. Lowers only — the uppers are sold separately.

The lower links carry acceleration and braking load, so they are the pair you feel most. These replace the stamped-and-welded factory arms and their rubber bushings with one-piece billet and a defined pivot, bolted into the stock mount locations. No cutting, no welding, no new shocks, no alignment. Stock-length geometry, 15 inches of rear wheel travel on the factory rear shock.

What Is In The Kit

  • 2 FMI billet aluminum rear lower trailing arms, with spacers and hardware
  • 1" FK uniballs
  • Custom-machined 17-4 stainless steel spacers sized for the stock mount locations
  • Urethane wobble stoppers on the front mounts to hold the arms in alignment

The factory suspension travel sensor mounts to the upper arm, not the lower, so nothing on this kit interacts with the truck's ride height sensing. If you are replacing the uppers as well, that post is built into the billet upper arms.

Why The Lowers Are The Ones You Feel

The Gen 3 Raptor runs a five-link rear axle. The lower links take the fore-and-aft load — everything the engine puts down and everything the brakes take back goes through them. The uppers control axle wrap and pinion angle, and the panhard bar handles side to side.

The factory lower arm is stamped sheet metal, folded into shape and welded at the seams, with a rubber bushing at each end. Rubber is chosen for isolation, not location. Put real load through it and it compresses, the axle moves relative to where the chassis thinks it is, and the rear end feels disconnected under power — the same compliance that turns into wheel hop on a hard launch.

A machined billet arm is one piece with no seams and material placed where the load actually is, and the uniball gives it a defined pivot instead of a squishy one.

Uniball Or Ultra-Flex?

We build the Gen 3 billet rear arms two ways. Both are billet aluminum, both bolt into the factory mounts, both give the same 15 inches of rear wheel travel. The joint is the only difference.

Uniball — this kit. A 1" FK uniball at the pivot: tighter and more direct than an elastomeric joint, and the uniball itself is a replaceable wear item rather than something that scraps the arm. FK is the industry benchmark and these arms have been on Raptors for years.

Ultra-Flex — our patent-pending joint. Greaseable on the truck through an external zerk, quieter as it wears, rebuildable with a urethane body, and better in wet or salted conditions. See the Ultra-Flex rear lower arms.

Fitment

Fits the Gen 3 and Gen 3.5 Ford F-150 Raptor, model years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, including the Raptor R.

Stock-length only — this is not a long travel kit and it does not change rear geometry.

Installation

Bolt-on, into the factory mount locations, with the spacers machined to suit. No cutting, no welding, no fabrication and no alignment required afterwards.

Support the truck safely and take the load off the rear axle before removing the factory arms. Guides are at Install Instructions, and we do in-house installation in Mesa.

Finishes

Three options: raw billet aluminum, black anodized and FOX orange anodized.

Raw is a finish choice, not a lesser part — plenty of builds run raw billet deliberately for the machined-aluminum look. Anodized parts should be cared for as anodized aluminum; see the care notes before you take a pressure washer or a harsh wheel cleaner to them.

Questions

Do these fit a 2025 or 2026 Raptor?

Yes. They fit 2021 through 2026 Gen 3 and Gen 3.5 trucks, Raptor R included.

Is this the lowers only, or the full set?

Lowers only, sold as a pair. The upper arms are listed separately, or take both together as the complete billet rear arm kit.

Lowers or uppers first?

Lowers. They carry acceleration and braking load, so they are the pair you feel most. The panhard bar comes before either — it is the least expensive part of the rear suspension and makes the biggest immediate difference.

Will these stop wheel hop?

They address its main cause. Wheel hop comes from the rear suspension deflecting and rebounding under load, and rubber bushings in the lower links are where most of that deflection lives.

Does this affect the factory ride height sensor?

No. The travel sensor mounts to the upper arm, not the lower, so the lowers do not touch it.

Is the uniball serviceable?

Yes. It is a wear item by design and presses out for replacement, so the arm stays on the truck for life. Replacement uniballs are under Serviceable Parts.

What are the wobble stoppers for?

The urethane wobble stoppers sit at the front mounts and keep the arms from rotating out of alignment in the bracket. They are urethane, not Delrin.

Where are they made?

Designed, machined and finished in-house at our facility in Mesa, Arizona, USA.

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.
