Description
Fabricated front bypass shock mounts for the 2017–2020 Gen 2 Ford F-150 Raptor: the add-on towers that mount the secondary bypass shock with a Foutz Motorsports front mid travel or long travel kit. One left and one right side mount, welded to the frame.
A bypass shock runs alongside the coilover and needs its own upper mount. The factory frame has nowhere to put one, so this is the kit you need to add a bypass shock to any of our Gen 2 Raptor front mid travel and long travel kits.
What Is In The Kit
- 1 right side fabricated front bypass shock mount
- 1 left side fabricated front bypass shock mount
Why A Bypass Shock Needs Its Own Mount
On a mid travel or long travel front end, the coilover carries the spring and its own damping, and the secondary bypass shock adds a second damper beside it. That second shock pushes and pulls against the chassis on every hit, so its upper mount has to be tied solidly into the frame.
The factory frame was never built with a mounting point for a second front shock. These towers give the bypass a dedicated mount on each side, welded to the frame so the damping load goes into the chassis structure.
Fitment
Fits the Gen 2 Ford F-150 Raptor, model years 2017–2020, as an add-on to a Foutz Motorsports front mid travel or long travel kit.
It is only needed if your build runs a secondary bypass shock.
Installation
Welding to the frame is required as part of the installation, and it must be done by a qualified fabricator.
Questions
What does this kit do?
It adds the frame mounts for a secondary front bypass shock on a Gen 2 Raptor running one of our front mid travel or long travel kits.
Is it bolt-on?
No. The mounts weld to the frame, and the work must be done by a qualified fabricator.
What comes in the kit?
One right side and one left side mount.
Which years does it fit?
Gen 2 F-150 Raptors, 2017 through 2020.
Do I need it if I am not running a bypass shock?
No. It is the add-on for builds that mount a secondary bypass shock.
