Description
A mid travel front suspension kit for every 2021–2026 Gen 3 Ford F-150 Raptor, with fabricated 4130 lower arms, fabricated 4130 upper arms and frame mounts. It is our race-proven front kit, with geometry optimized for both on-road and off-road driving.
The kit stays at stock Raptor width, so no fiberglass fenders are needed, and it keeps the stock spindle, factory tie rod and stock coil-over location. That lets you upgrade the arms now and add a bypass shock, sway bar, bump stops, a fabricated spindle or billet tie rods as the build grows.
What Is In The Kit
- 2 fabricated lower A-arms with 1.5" uniballs, snap rings and spacers
- 2 fabricated upper A-arms with 1.25" uniballs, 7/8" rod ends and spacers
- Wheel position sensor mounts for the upper arms
- 1 set of frame mounts for the upper shock tower
- 1 set of limit straps and mounting tabs
Shocks are not included unless you select one in the options.
Why Upgrade To Mid Travel
The factory front arms are cast aluminum, designed for the stock travel and the stock load case. Fabricated 4130 arms with uniballs and rod ends change what the front end can take, and the revised geometry is tuned for the way a Raptor actually gets driven, on pavement and off.
Because the kit keeps the stock spindle, factory tie rod and the stock front coil-over location, you are not forced into a full long travel build to get there. You keep the stock spring tower structure, and every major upgrade can be added later on the same arms.
How It Is Built
- Full 4130 fabricated lower arms, upper arms and frame mounts
- FK rod ends and uniballs throughout, for quality, long-lasting parts
- Lower arm designed with an integrated bump pad and limit strap mount
- Stock Raptor width: no fiberglass fenders required
Shocks And Bypass
The kit works with the stock factory front coil shock or any aftermarket shock that fits in the stock location, so you keep the stock spring tower structure. Keep the Live Valve stock shock, or upgrade to the FOX aftermarket Live Valve coil-over with adjustable coil height.
The kit also allows a custom 3" external bypass shock that mounts to the lower arm, with a top add-on shock mount structure that links to the factory spring tower to further strengthen it. The bypass shock is a very specific layout that clears even a factory stock Raptor wheel, so it must be ordered with your kit. No other bypass shock will fit this kit.
Add-On Upgrades
Front sway bar kit
The kit accepts our add-on front sway bar kit. It uses race quality components, is designed to fit alongside the bypass shock, and adds support to the rear lower A-arm mount, which is inherently weak in stock condition.
Front bump stop kit
The lower arm has the bump pad and limit strap mount built in. The bump stop system uses a 2.5" diameter, 2.5" stroke bump stop mounted directly to the frame.
Spindles and tie rods
The kit uses the stock front spindle, which can be upgraded to our fabricated spindle kit later. The factory tie rod works, or you can upgrade to a billet half or full tie rod kit.
