there was an issue back in the day when the gen 1 first came out. people were overdriving the trucks. they would hit the bump stops and the frame would buckle at the oem bump stop. im sure you have heard the comments of "the raptor has frame bending issues" well it doesnt matter what truck it would have been, chevy, dodge, toyota, you have that time where you hit the washout, whoops, whatever too hard any truck would have bent the frame. the only reason the issue arose was because ford produced the raptor and made it an offroad ready truck. people were saying how if it was an offroad truck why cant it handle the hard terrain. well it can. and it does it better than any other factory produced truck on the market, just not at speeds people were trying to go. in 2013 ford reinforced the frame at the bump stops for the vehicles being produced and forward. if you really want the entire back story, send me a message, but im not going to post it here. i personally have the rpg kit on my gen 1. at that time, it was the most robust system available. very heavy duty and provided the most support. i havent followed much on the gen 2 kits, but i will tell you that the 3 companies i mentioned before have spent a lot of time building designing and testing bump stop kits.
i can not say if these would be adequate enough or not as i have no experience with them, but i would compare them to other kits on the market and make that descision yourself after you weigh in the amount of offroading you do and how much weight you keep in your bed. you have to factor in all variables so you can get the right kit for you
