Description
A 1.25" front sway bar kit for the Ford F-150 Raptor that bolts to the factory stock lower control arms, available for Gen 1 (2010–2014), Gen 2 (2017–2020) and Gen 3 (2021–2026) trucks, including the Raptor R. The kit includes lower control arm pivot reinforcement brackets, so the lower arm mounts get stronger at the same time.
A stronger front bar gives the truck better side load control. It reduces body roll, keeps the truck more level and makes it more responsive in corners, on road and off.
What Is In The Kit
- (1) 1.25" diameter sway bar
- (2) Sway bar arms
- (2) Sway bar mounts that attach directly to the frame
- (2) Factory lower control arm adapter mounts
- (2) Sway bar links with male and female rod ends
- (4) Sway bar link bolts
- (2) Lower control arm pivot reinforcement brackets
Why Upgrade The Front Sway Bar
A sway bar links the left and right front wheels. When the truck leans in a corner, the bar twists and resists that lean, pushing the outside of the chassis back up and keeping the body level. A bar that resists more holds the truck flatter and makes it react sooner to steering input.
This kit gives the Raptor more side load control and better balance through corners, with a more planted, responsive feel whether you are driving hard off-road or just around town. It is built for a truck still on its factory lower control arms, and it is a practical first step toward a mid travel or long travel front suspension later.
How It Is Built
Sway bar and arms
A 1.25" diameter bar with optimized sway bar arms for improved suspension control. The bar mounts attach directly to the frame.
Stock lower arm adapter mounts
The included adapter mounts connect the sway bar links to the factory lower control arms, so no lower arm change is needed to run the bar.
Lower control arm pivot reinforcement
The two pivot reinforcement brackets strengthen the lower arm mounting points. They support the mounts under heavy loads and hard off-road use, and help the alignment stay where it was set after heavy contact.
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 is for trucks with the stock lower control arms. If your truck runs Foutz Motorsports fabricated lower arms, you need the fabricated lower arm version of this kit instead.
Will not fit a regular F-150 or a 2WD F-150 frame.
