Description
A 1.25" front sway bar kit for the Ford F-150 Raptor that mounts to Foutz Motorsports fabricated lower arms, available for Gen 1 (2010–2014), Gen 2 (2017–2020) and Gen 3 (2021–2026) trucks, including the Raptor R. It works with both the stock width and plus 3 width fabricated lower arms.
The bar gives the truck better side load control and less body roll than the factory bar, and the included lower arm pivot reinforcement brackets strengthen a known weak point in the lower arm mounts.
What Is In The Kit
- (1) 1.25" diameter sway bar
- (2) Sway bar arms
- (2) Sway bar mounts that attach to the frame
- (2) Sway bar links with male and female rod ends
- (4) Sway bar link bolts
- (2) Lower control arm pivot reinforcement brackets
Why Replace The Stock Sway Bar
The factory sway bar is not strong enough to control the lateral loads the truck sees when driving, which leaves the suspension feeling unbalanced in corners. A sway bar links the left and right front wheels and twists to resist body lean, so a stronger bar holds the chassis flatter and lets the truck respond sooner to steering input.
This kit adds stability, reduces body roll compared to the stock bar and keeps the truck more level, with a balanced feel whether you are driving aggressively or just cruising around town. You will feel the difference once it is installed, and it fits naturally into a build that is heading toward mid travel or long travel.
How It Is Built
Sway bar and arms
A larger 1.25" diameter bar with optimized sway bar arms. The bar mounts attach to the frame, and the links use male and female rod ends.
Lower arm pivot reinforcement
The lower arm mounts are a weak point on the Raptor, and they frequently bend when the front wheel takes a heavy hit. The included pivot reinforcement brackets support the rear of the lower arm mounts, strengthening that point and helping keep the alignment from changing.
Fitment
Select your truck when ordering. The kit is built in four configurations:
- Gen 1 Ford F-150 Raptor, 2010–2014
- Gen 2 Ford F-150 Raptor, 2017–2020
- Gen 3 Ford F-150 Raptor, 2021–2026
- Gen 3 Ford F-150 Raptor R with the V8, 2023–2026
This version attaches to Foutz Motorsports fabricated lower arms, stock width or plus 3 width. A truck still on its factory lower control arms needs the stock arm version of this kit instead.
Will not fit a regular F-150 or a 2WD F-150 frame.

Questions
Which lower arms does this kit work with?

What do the reinforcement brackets do?
They strengthen the lower arm mounts where they tend to bend after heavy contact to the front wheel, which helps keep the alignment from changing.
