This prevents the rear link mounts from ripping off

[NatG]

i decided to get a axle gusset kit installed to prevent failure to the rear link mounts from ripping off or cracking (i've seen cracks in the welds on the upper mounts before on other raptors and it's no bueno, especially when you get stranded on the trails with a broken axle mount )

So today the Gen 3 is up on the lift getting the steel gusset pieces welded on so all sides of the factory axle mounts are reinforced, strengthened and secured.
if you abuse your rear suspension links like i have - this kit is totally worth getting IMO. Here's some pics from earlier today of it being install






if anyone is interested in this rear axle gusset kit, let me know and ill post the link

Nice product. You had this installed on your company truck, but on your dime?

Also, a bit off topic, but do you work for Foutz? Your truck is on their website and that looks like their gusset kit.

Did they weld it with the links installed? I would think it would turn your bushings to mush.

What percentage of the raptors you have seen with cracked mounts have aftermarket links? I’m genuinely curious. The only images I’ve seen they happen to be aftermarket. FK uniballs will impart a WAY higher shock load on the mounts compared to a rubberized bushing. I suspect there’s something there.
