Curious if anyone has seen or heard of any companies offering a top hat for the RR? The reviews seem to be great on the Gen 2 and Gen 3 F150 Raptors for getting a slight lift in the front without impacting pre-load as much as a spring replacement or perch collar.

I can’t find any information about any in the works.

Some examples for the F150 Raptor are below.

I’m curious for some feedback from people who have run them on previous trucks. Seems like the best way to get a slight lift and maintain a factory ride.

Interesting feedback from the EXO crew that regularly run Baja and have seen several shock buckets and top hats failing. Mostly due to aftermarket springs.

It seems that for the majority who don't run their trucks to the limits a strut spacer works fine.

Your literally talking about a strut spacer with extra steps.

We have had the Ranger Raptor with 2.5 Fox Live Valves in Australia since 2022 and I have been making parts for them since then and not a single case of damaged or even worn out upper shock bushes. So this upgrade is completely unnesecary IMO.

Eh same but different. Your strut spacers aren’t going to make the top hat stronger and blowing apart, which is what the top hats are for a long with providing a lift. Granted this has yet to be a problem with the Ranger Raptor coilovers, but it has been an issue for other past Raptor models.

I have definitely seen the Raptors blowing them out and I would put it down the the additional weight on the F150 vs the Ranger Raptor plus most failures are on 37s.
