Foutz Motorsports Heavy Duty Billet Top Hat - Stock Height 2022-2027 Ford Bronco Raptor

Upgraded 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

CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for a precise fit, this top hat is built for performance. We use only high-quality FK uniballs, paired with Uniball spacers made from 17-4 stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting strength and reliability.

This kit includes 12mm studs designed to match Bronco Raptor shock towers and maintains the factory ride height—no lift added. 

Why You Need This Upgrade:

• 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.
