• Before Installation: A qualified professional fabricator is recommended to install the bump stop and Bypass Shock Tower due to the welding that is required on the frame.


• After Installation: It is highly advised to have your Gen 3 Raptor be realigned by a shop technician that is familiar with long travel. It is also required to have fiberglass fenders for a 37" or 39" tire to have clearance.

A Few Additional Things to Consider

Upgrade your Raptor rear suspension also. You can pair this front suspension long travel system with our Gen 3 Cantilever Kit or through the bed long travel kit so the rear suspension will keep up with the front. In addition to better shocks and rear travel we worked with the team at Currie Enterprises to supply custom built fabricate rear axle housing kits specially up fit to work with the Gen 3 rear 5 link suspension. This axle kit requires our team to custom fit the correct mounting tabs and mounts to work with the Gen 3 Raptors. We suggest matching the width added in the front with the plus 3" kit with a 3" wider per side rear axle kit to ensure proper handling characteristics. Leaving the rear axle width stock or 3" shorter per side will cause the truck to handle poorly, especially in turning at higher speeds.

What additional products do we recommended? Our Lower Arm Pocket Replacement Kit will help strengthen the lower pockets where the +3" front lower control arm attaches on the front side. This is the front pocket that will typically take damage when stuffing the front suspension and making contact with the ground. Our enhanced pocket kit replaces that thin sheet metal section with thicker, stronger, chromoly pocket with added gussets to ensure ultimate strength even with moderate contact. Whether a repair to a damaged pocket or proactively upgrading before you see frame damage this kit is a great option.
