The factory top hat supports the shock shaft with a rubber bushing, the main weak point that causes factory top hats to fail, especially with aftermarket springs.

When the top hat fails it can let the shock drop all the way out of the spring bucket and cause expensive damage to other suspension parts. A billet top hat with a uniball removes that weak point.

Billet aluminum top hats use a serviceable, replaceable uniball. It is pressed into the billet housing we machine, wears over time like any bearing, and can be replaced. How long it lasts varies from customer to customer.

We don't manufacture the uniball. We use industry-leading FK uniballs in all of our suspension components. This top hat uses FK part number FKS12T: FK FKS12T replacement uniball.

Does this top hat add lift?

No. It keeps the factory ride height. The Phase 1 and Phase 2 versions add lift.

Do I need a lower spring collar or new springs?

No. This version is for stock height.

Which F-150 years does it fit?

The 2015 through 2026 Ford F-150 with the factory front shock.

Is the uniball a wear item?

Yes. It is designed to be replaced when it wears. The replacement is FK part number FKS12T.
