Description
Aluminum rear shock guards for the 2021–2026 Gen 3 Ford F-150 Raptor running FOX Factory Race Series 3.2 Live Valve Internal Bypass rear shocks, part number 883-06-183. Each guard fully covers the shock and is held by an upper and a lower mounting clamp. Sold as a pair with hardware.
Aftermarket rear shocks sit in the same spot as the factory ones, right in line with rocks thrown by the front tires. This kit covers the shock body and shaft so roost and rock strikes hit aluminum instead of the shock.
What Is In The Kit
- 2 aluminum shock guards
- Upper mounting clamps (black plastic)
- Lower mounting clamps (billet)
- Installation hardware
Sold as a pair, one guard for each rear shock.
Why Guard The Rear Shocks
At speed in the dirt, the front tires throw rocks and gravel straight back into the rear suspension. The rear shocks take a lot of that. A chipped or scored shock body, or a damaged shaft, means a shock that needs service or replacement.
A guard puts a sacrificial layer of aluminum between the roost and the shock. This kit is shaped to completely cover the FOX 3.2 Live Valve Internal Bypass shock, so the guard takes the impacts and the shock is left to do its job.
How It Is Built
Floating guard body
Each guard is precision laser cut in-house from 6061-T6 aluminum tubing.
Upper clamp
A black mounting clamp made from durable plastic fits around the upper part of the shock body. It acts as a guide for the floating guard, keeping it aligned and limiting any damage to the shock from the guard moving.
Lower clamp
A billet mounting clamp on the lower backside of the guard is shaped to the profile of the shock eyelet, so the bottom of the guard stays secure as the shock extends and compresses.
