Foutz Motorsports Heavy Duty Billet Top Hat - 1.25 inch Lift - Phase 2 2015-2025 Ford F-150

Upgrade your stock front shock top hats that are prone to failure with the latest advancement from the team at Foutz Motorsports.  Our new Heavy Duty Billet Top Hat kit provides the ultimate in strength and durability for your Raptor by using bigger and stronger WSSX14T - wide series 7/8 FK uniballs made with 17-4 stainless steel races and 400 series stainless steel ball.  These are the strongest Uniball available and provide more surface area on the ball than any other option.

Our new Heavy Duty Billet Top Hat not only uses the new stronger Uniball configuration but also employs a new threaded top retainer to help keep the Uniball in place and support the ring clip from coming loose under abuse.  The top cap threads into the main body and is retained with 4 stainless steel Allan screws to ensure it cant back out.  The new top cap design also adds extra support the the side of the Uniball where the center ball puts pressure on the race area to help keep the Uniball last longer

Our Phase 2 kit will add preload to the stock springs and provide about 1.25" of lift when installed with stock springs.

The kit uses 10mm studs to match 2015 - 2025 F150 shock towers and is designed to add 1.25 inches of lift without replacing the front spring or adding a lower collar. It delivers the preload you want—without the extra hardware.

CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, this top hat is built for performance and precision. The uniball spacers are made from 17-4 stainless steel, delivering exceptional longevity and resistance to wear.

Why upgrade to this billet top hat?

• The Phase 2 Billet Top Hat will add spring preload and provide about 1.25" of lift in the front while still using the stock springs.
  
  
• The OEM top hat relies on a rubber bushing, which is prone to failure—especially when aftermarket springs are installed.
  
• Failure of the factory bushing can allow the shock to drop out of the spring bucket, potentially damaging other suspension components.
  
  
• Prevents costly suspension damage by replacing the weak link in your stock setup with a robust billet solution.

What's different from a standard Billet Top Hat Kits?

• The original billet top hat uses a 3/4 standard FK Uniball and the new Heavy Duty Billet Top hat uses a WSSX14T 7/8" Uniball that provides nearly double the overall strength of the standard 3/4" standard Uniball
  
  
• The addition of the threaded top retainer ensures the Uniball ring clip can't come out and let the bearing shift or fail.
  
  
• The new threaded top retainer was also designed so that it holds pressure on the side of the bearing race at the thinnest area where it has the most pressure from the center ball to support the side of the race and making the bearing last much longer.
