  • Best Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor 4WD
  • I prefer the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # SS52GR for your 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor 4WD over an Air Lift system because the SumoSprings are a maintenance free solution; you're never going to need to go find an air compressor each time you want to tow something. The other thing is that because you'll be doing some light off-roading, the SumoSprings won't reduce your suspension travel since they're only bolted to one spot on the frame where the Air Lift system bolts to the frame and...

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Recommendations for Weight Distribution- 2006 Ford F150 Towing 5400 lb Trailer
  • Typically, the tongue weight of a properly loaded trailer will be between 10-15% of the trailer weight. The trailer weight plus the maximum weight of the machine on the trailer would be as high as 5400 lbs which would put your tongue weight between 540 and 810 lbs, potentially right at the maximum for your hitch. The sticker on your existing hitch will list two different ratings. One for towing, and a higher rating that will be applicable only if a weight distribution system is used. In...

  • 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor Suspension Enhancement for Towing Camper Trailer
  • The best suspension enhancement we offer for your 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor is the RoadActive System part # RAS3611 as it gives you adjustable support like you are wanting to reduce the sag but it also doesn't make the loaded or unloaded ride quality harsh like other options. And also isn't as high maintenance as the air bag kits.

  • 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...

  • Tonneau Cover Recommendation and Bike Rack for 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • I'm happy to recommend a tonneau cover and we can get you a bike rack for your 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor, but there is no way to use a truck-bed bike rack with a tonneau cover as they will interfere with each other. So let's start with the tonneau, and since you want to ensure protection for your truck bed, the best option is definitely a locking cover, and for that I highly recommend the RetraxONE MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT60373. As for a bike rack on your 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor, this is...

  • Which Suspension Enhancement Kit is Best for 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • The best suspension enhancement solution out there for what you are looking for on your 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor is the RoadActive Suspension kit # RAS3611 as it gives the support you are wanting to reduce the sag when carrying cargo weight or towing but actually improves the ride quality and handling of the vehicle whereas basically every other option out there is going to sacrifice ride quality.

  • What is the Best Tonneau Cover and Bed Mat for 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • The tonneau cover that I recommend for your 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor is the PowertraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover part # RTT-90373. The PowertraxPRO XR has two really great features that allow it to stand out from the competition, a power retracting cover that can be set and locked at different points along the bed rails and integrated tracks so you can haul items without sacrificing bed space. The PowertraxPRO XR is constructed of several aluminium top panels for extreme durability but there...

  • What Circuit Does Red Wire of Roadmaster Brake Lite Relay Attach to
  • The reason the red wire of the Brake Lite Relay # RM-88400 runs to your fuse box is so that it can connect to a circuit that only sees power when the vehicle is on. This allows the relay to have power only when the vehicle is on. Obviously the circuit you are using now is not the correct once since the vehicle won't shift gears. Look for a different fuse circuit that would have power when the vehicle is on that would be less involved with the vehicle running like the "radio" fuse. The...

  • Flat Tow Base Plate Kit for 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • We do have what you need for your 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor but, the # BO74FR that you linked to is not confirmed to fit the 2021 model year. My recommendation is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BLU33FR that is confirmed to fit the Raptor model. Some drilling and trimming is required for install and the tow hooks will need to be removed. This will match to any direct connect Blue Ox tow bar such as the 7,500 lb. rated Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar, # BX4370 which will match well to your...

  • If you ordered two of the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit # 295-000019 and selected "keyed alike" from the drop down menu we'd ship you two of these that use the exact same keys.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 2018 Ford Raptor Suspension Enhancement Recommendation
  • We actually don't have air bag suspension enhancement that fits your 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor (couldn't find any other places that do either), but we do have adjustable suspension enhancement that will work really well for what you are wanting. For that you'd want the part # RAS3611 which gives you up to 2,000 of additional support, isn't harsh like some options are, improves handling, and is adjustable by changing the spring tension. This would definitely be your best option!

  • 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...

  • RetraxONE Tonneau Cover for 2014 Ford F-150 Raptor to Use Yakima Overhaul HD
  • I wish there was a way to upgrade your cover to have the slots needed for the Overhaul HD but the line of cover you have does not have this available. It's probably not the solution you want but you'd need the ONE XR part # RTT-60371 which comes with the T-Slots needed for the Overhaul HD # Y01151-5855.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor
  • I can help you piece all the best parts needed to flat tow your 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor but we don't have a single part number kit I can point you towards. The Roadmaster Direct Connect Kit part # RM-524431-5 would be a really great option that installs easily and is easy to use overall as well. I attached an install video for this for you to check out too. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat...
