Description
Our Foutz Motorsports billet top hat provides the ultimate strength for your stock shock upper mount. Made from 6061-T6 aluminum and CNC machined for a perfect fit. We utilize high quality FK uniballs in our top hat kits to ensure the ultimate strength. The uniball spacers are made from 17-4 stainless steel providing the ultimate quality for long life.
The kit features 12mm studs to match up with the F150 shock towers. This version is designed to retain stock height and provide no lift when installed. We also make a lift version that adds preload to the spring to gain some ride height without having to change the front spring. This also eliminates the need to add a lower spring collar to get the preload you desire.
Why do you need this billet top hat?
• The main mount that supports the shaft on the stock top hats has a rubber bushing that's notoriously known for being the main weak point that causes factory top hat to fail - especially if they have after-market springs.
• When the top hat fails it lets the shock drop all the way out of the spring bucket and causes damage to other suspension parts can causing expensive damage that can be avoided.
This Kit Includes:
(6) M12 - 1.5 x 40
(4) Pivot Spacers
IMPORTANT INFO - PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
NOTE: Billet Aluminum top hats utilize a serviceable and replaceable uniball that will have to be serviced from time to time. The uniball is pressed into the billet aluminum housing that we manufacture and the uniball will wear out over time but can be easily replaced with a low cost replacement.
The amount of time the uniball will last is variable and will differ from customer to customer.
The uniballs are not something we manufacture at Foutz Motorsports. We use industry leading FK rod ends uniballs in all of our suspension components to ensure the best possible quality for your kit. The uniball is designed to be a wear item and to be replaced when they start to wear out.
For the standard billet top hat we use the FK uniball part number FKS12T and you can find that replacement part at this link: FK FKS12T Replacement Uniball
