SHOXSpeed Strut Tower Brace

[MagicMtnDan]

they cost nothing to make...

Compared to other mods, correct. But nothing costs "nothing to design or make"

this mod is probably unneeded on this vehicle.

Absolutely. But that won't stop some from buying it just like many other mods.

I couldn't agree more that there is certainly no need for it on the Raptor.

does anyone remember the longtravel kit that fabtech did for the 97-03 2wd f-150s with the shock brace that went across the engine compartment it would be cool to see something like that made so you could attach a longer coilover.

I think it will work to some extent to lower front flex, not nearly as much as that shown for the street cars mind you. Is it a needed mod...not for most of us here. Would I put it on my Raptor, sure! It seems much more useful than 20" wheels and lower profile offroad tires that i see on custom trucks here all the time. Hell there are 24" wheels with knobby rubber bands here in Fort Mc and I cant understand the reason behind it. The biggest benefit I can see for this mod is driving the washboards in a drift,which even on gravel roads can be shuddering.

I emailed the company about availability of the brace for the Raptor. Here is the responding email that was sent at 7:44pm on a Sunday (SUNDAY!!!) now thats service!

Nicely done Floppy! And that's the kind of response we like to see

I think I'm going to give these a try, looks easy enough to remove if I don't like it.

At a shop in Vegas I saw a 02-03 F150 witt 17" of travel fully tweaked out and it had one of these. It was a 5.4.

The owner said it was a small but positive impact on street and off road. This truck was not street legal.
