Reinforce the factory lower control arm pocket mounts on your 2017-2026 Ford Raptor with the Foutz Motorsports Weld-On Lower Control Arm Pocket Reinforcement Gusset Kit. Designed for Gen 2 and Gen 3 Raptors, these precision-cut gussets help strengthen a common high-stress area to reduce bending and cracking during aggressive off-road use. Features Designed to weld directly onto the stock lower control arm mounts Protects the mounts on the factory lower control arms from bending, cracking, and trail damage Enhances structural strength at a common high-stress point on the front suspension Made from .190" thick steel, precision laser-cut in-house for an exact fit Engineered to sit flush with the complete outer surface of the stock lower arm mount plates 2 drain holes in the base let water escape and help prevent corrosion Compatible with our Slot Delete Insert kits Why Is This Kit Different? Full-surface fitment — Designed to fit as close as possible to the complete outer surface of the stock lower arm mount plates Edge-to-edge coverage — Extends to the outer edges of the plate, not just the surface Two-point weld attachment — Welds attach to both the stock base plate and the upper edge of the frame, strengthening the whole assembly Over 1/4" combined thickness — Added material + stock plates reinforce the mounting area on each side What is the benefits of each gusset plate? Top cross plate — Prevents the pocket from folding in and adds weld area at the point where cracks most commonly start and tear off the frame Pocket plates — Extends to the outer edges of the stock mount so welds attach to both the base plate and the upper edge of the frame, strengthening the whole assembly Bottom cap plate — Supports the width of the mount and keeps the side plates from folding in at the stock lower arm pivot area Drain holes — Integrated into each gusset to prevent water buildup Material & Durability .190" precision-cut steel — Reinforces a common high-stress area of the front suspension against off-road damage Fitment & Compatibility Fits 2017–2020 Gen 2 Ford Raptor Fits 2021–2026 Gen 3 Ford Raptor Works for F-150 Raptors with years, 2017 to current Direct weld-on install — Designed to weld straight onto the factory mounts Slot Delete compatible — Fully compatible with the Foutz Lower Arm Slot Delete Insert Kit Installation Note Requires welding by a qualified welder.
