Yes I use an aluminum one for my KTM 500. Works well. I was surprised at the squat honestly. My Jeep didn't seem to squat as much as the RR. I also use it on the front of my F350 Tremor (with a front hitch of course).
Currently own a 2020 F350 6.7SD Tremor with a Northern-Lite 8-11 Camper on it
and a 2024 Ranger Raptor
Started with a 1968 Ford Cortina (when I was stationed in England in the very early 80s)
Then a 1988 5.0 LX Mustang
Then a 1992 Taurus SHO
Not that many, but a few. LOL
Uwharrie NF has a mix of trails. Beautiful area. Couple hours from Fayetteville. Been wheeling and riding my KTM there. Like to camp at Arrowhead Campground. Right on Badin Lake.
Likely not the culprit... but just in case.... the rear seatback in my '24 RR doesn't always latch correctly and it gives nice annoying clunks on bumps when it doesn't, seemingly toward the right rear (of the cabin).
Let me know when you are going. Haven't had the Raptor out there yet. Took my Jeep there a couple times, but mostly go with the KTM. But I'd like to try it with the Raptor. Live about an hour away and am retired, so got time on my hands LOL
