Description
Rear link frame mounts that convert a 2010–2014 Gen 1 Raptor or 2009–2014 F-150 frame to a Gen 3 Raptor 5-link style rear suspension. Laser cut, CNC bent and MIG welded from 3/16" thick A-36 steel.
The Gen 1 truck locates its axle on leaf springs, so its frame has no mounts for trailing arms. A 5-link rear needs solid frame pickup points for its links, and these mounts provide them in a Gen 3 style layout.
Why The Frame Mounts Matter
Every bit of acceleration and braking load in a link-located rear end goes through the link frame mounts. If a mount flexes or cracks, the axle moves and the geometry goes with it.
These mounts are substantially stronger than the factory stock rear link mounts. Their angled design also builds in skid protection at the front of the mount, so it slides over obstacles instead of catching on them.
How It Is Built
- 3/16" thick A-36 steel
- Laser cut and CNC bent for precise fitment
- MIG welded
- Angled design with built-in front skid protection
Fitment
Designed to work with any 2009–2014 F-150 or 2010–2014 Gen 1 Raptor frame, as part of a Gen 3 Raptor 5-link style rear suspension conversion.
Installation
Professional installation is required. The kit requires fabrication and removal of stock components on the frame, and the mounts must be welded to the stock frame. We recommend using a qualified fabricator for this install.
