Expert Answers about Ford F-150 Raptor


  • What Size Yakima OutPost do You Recommend for My 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor?
  • There are two recommended sizes for Yakima HD crossbars when using the Yakima OutPost on your 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor. Those are the following lengths: - Yakima OutPost HD Overland Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 78" # Y01152-59 - Yakima OutPost HD Overland Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" # Y01152-58 Between these two choices, I recommend going with the 78" # Y01152-59. This is because you ultimately receive more crossbar space for mounting accessories and cargo on your...

  • What is Best Suspension Enhancement for 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor for Suspension Support Adjustability
  • The best solution for allowing suspension support when needed and none when not needed for your 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 kit part # AL98UV that you referenced with a compressor kit like # AL25854. This will easily allow you to alternate between the support you want.

  • How to Pick Out Weight Distribution for 2017 Ford Raptor Towing 7,600 lb Trailer
  • When picking out a weight distribution system ideally you go with the one that has a tongue weight range where your trailer's tongue falls right in the middle. So your tongue weight is going to be between 760 lbs and 1,140 lbs. Which I would think the boat trailer would have a tongue weight more on the lower side since most of the weight is carried at the rear of the trailer (the motor is located at the rear). The part # EQ37100ET should work well, but you might first determine your loaded...

  • Tow Mirror Solution for 2022 Ford F-150 Raptor that Fits Well
  • Since we do not have 2021 Ford Raptor tow mirrors that are custom fit it would seem likely that we won't be getting them for the 2022 either but the great news is we know that the K-Source tow mirrors part # KS3990 fit well as we have had the chance to install them on a similar 2018 Raptor. I attached an install video for this for more info as well.

  • Best Rear Suspension Upgrade for the 2020 Ford Raptor
  • I really like the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle part # SS52GR for this situation. They engage much more smoothly than the Timbrens part # TFR150RB do. The overall user experience is going to be better for you since you won't feel them engage which is common on the Timbrens. The 1500 lb. capacity is at 50% compression so at about mid stroke the more they get compressed the more weight they take up. Please keep in mind this doesn't raise your vehicles towing capabilities...

  • How To Attach the Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack To Channels In Tracks/Crossbars
  • It sounds like you have a Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack part # DRT15x110 and are wanting to install this directly into the tracks on a Retrax XR Hard Tonneau Cover. If that is the case then you should be able to use the Thule Adapter part # THXADAPT12 for this as the channel bolts for the crossbars are similar to that of those for the rails. The Replacement Stainless Steel T-bolt for Truck Rack part # 853-5648 and the Replacement Square Nut for Thule M.O.A.B. Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier part...

  • Will a Hitch Mounted Bike Rack On a 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor Trigger Blind Spot Sensors
  • If you will be carrying bikes on the rear of a vehicle with blind spot sensors then you will want to turn these sensors off while you have the bikes attached as there is a possibility that the bikes or bike rack can interfere with them, same goes for the cross traffic sensors as well. The good new is that most vehicles allow you to easier turn these sensors off via the in dash settings. If you don't already have a hitch mounted bike rack, the Kuat Transfer V2 part # KU24FR is one of my...

  • Can Roof Top Tent be Used with Thule TracRac Truck Bed Ladder Rack on 2014 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • The Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB that you referenced, which is confirmed to fit your 2014 Ford F-150 Raptor, features a weight capacity of 800 pounds so it is more than capable of supporting the weight of your loaded roof-top tent. You will just want to make sure that your tent is able to clamp around the crossbars of the TracRac (which are a bit larger than standard roof rack bars). The crossbars measure 4 inches wide and 1-1/2 inches tall. I have attached...

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement that Fits 2022 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • At this time (February 2022) we have Timbren suspension kits that fit your 2022 Ford F-150 Raptor like the part # TABSFR150RB but we do not have any air bag kits. I would assume something will come out eventually but we don't have a lead time.

  • Air Lift makes an air bag suspension enhancement kit that fits your 2014 Ford F-150 Raptor that has internal jounce bumpers with the part # AL38UV but we do not have a replacement air bag kit for the Firestone part number you mentioned that has them. Firestone does not have any internal jounce bumpers that they put in their air bag kits.

  • Can Timbren Rear Suspension Kit Fit 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor with 1 inch Lift
  • Most block lift kits just lift the body of the truck and not the suspension as well. This is known as a body lift. Suspension lifts are when the distance from the frame and truck axle increase. If you have a body lift the Timbren kit part # TFR1504R fits without any modification. If you added 1 inch to the distance between the truck frame and axle you'd need the part # TA25723-90AD00 for each side and you'd be set.

  • What All Is Needed To Set Up A 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor For Flat Towing?
  • Your 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor is a little limited on options, but we do have a full set up for you. With that said, you will need to start with the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM56MV. This is a bolt on application that will require no welding and the removable tabs make it a very clean install. The Demco Dominator Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511008 will then attach to the base plate and includes the safety cables. This is rated up to 7,500 pounds so it will have problems handling your truck.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • The best option for carrying two kayaks with your 2012 Ford Raptor F-150 will be with a roof rack installed and a kayak carrier that can carry two kayaks since you are towing a trailer as well as have a tonneau cover which would make carrying anything in that area very difficult. A roof rack solution is a very easy way to accomplish what you are looking for. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RR79YR which is an aero bar rack confirmed as a fit for your truck with the Thule Canyon...

  • Best Suspension System for Towing With a 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • The best option to prevent rear end sag while towing with a 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor would be air bags which also are one of the very few options that won't affect the unloaded ride quality (while deflated). The correct air bags for a 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs part # AL98UV. It's really hard to beat air bags when it comes preventing sag.

  • Best Rear Suspension Enhancement Solution for 2014 Ford F-150 Raptor Towing Trailer
  • That's exciting to hear! There's not quite as much feedback on the RAS systems like the # RAS2691 you installed on your 2014 Ford F-150 Raptor but the few people we know who have tried them really like them and reported very similar experiences to what you described. I am going to post this on our site so that it hopefully will help others in a similar situation!

  • Storage/Carrying Bag for a Weber Baby Q Grill
  • The Camco Olympian Grill Storage Bag Item # CAM57632 has a main compartment that is 22" long x 14" wide x 9" tall. Your grill would have to be up to that size but no larger to fit properly in this bag.

  • 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor Parts Recommendation to Flat Tow
  • For a complete flat towing setup for your 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. I recommend the following: Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - # RM-524431-5 Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights - # RM-676 Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit - # HM56000 Brake-Lite Relay Kit - # RM-88400 Brake System - Part # DM86VR for hydraulic or part # DM26VR for air motorhome...

  • How Much Clearance is Needed to Install Pewag Tire Chains PWE3231SC
  • Since that's an aftermarket tire and non-standard size for your truck you would have to measure manually to determine if there's clearance to use the Pewag chains part # PWE3231SC that you are interested in. These chains require 2 inches of clearance above and to the sides of your tires to fit.

  • Can Trailer Hitch Be Installed on a 2011 Ford F-150 Raptor Without Relocating Full Sized Spare
  • All of the trailer hitch options made for your 2011 Ford F-150 Raptor will require you to relocate the full sized spare tire, which means you have a few options available to you: - Purchase a custom made hitch and relocate the spare tire (I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75691 since it has a hidden crosstube) - Have a hitch fabricated to fit with the full sized spare (I'm not sure if this is possible or not) - Find another way to transport whatever it is you're needing the hitch for The...

  • Does TracRac SR for 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor Fit the Two Stake Pocket Design of the Truck
  • The ladder rack does fit your truck. The base rails of the TracRac SR ladder rack kit part # TH43002XT-508 are designed to only attach in two places which matches your bed design. The front stake pocket and the rear stake pocket. I attached a picture of them and you and you can see the two holes on either end. If you don't see the front stake pocket it is most likely covered by a bed rail/stake pocket cover.
