I finished up the updates on the Lower Control Arm pocket support system. I have fixed more than a few bent LCA pockets which is what inspired this kit. The rear pockets are very prone to bending on both gen1 and gen2 due to lack of support on the back of the pocket along with the stock rubber bushing deflection during a impact allowing in to easily bend the rear pocket. Both kits not only adds a support to the rear pocket but all the mounts. It also locks the lower control arms in the outer most position (recommended), center position or the holes can be slotted so you can still adjust the alignment from the lowers. ----- I highly recommend locking the lowers in place and using adjustable upper control arms if you are running off-road because when aligning Raptors from lower control arm cam bolts only it is prone to getting thrown out of alignment.------ The stage 1 kit will strengthen all 4 pockets, the stage 2 kit offers a integrated front pocket cross member which will lower the frame to an equal height with the bottom of the Stage 1 - Bolt in design- can also be welded - works with stock swaybar - made from 3/16 steel plate - includes all hardware - Adjustable upper control arms are required for alignment Stage 2 - Bolt in design- can also be welded - works with stock swaybar - made from 1/4 steel plate - includes all hardware - Adjustable upper control arms are required for alignment - OEM Engine skid plate can not be reused, replacement available - Front Bumper skid brace mounting is blocked by front brace, KHC offers a frame cut replacement bumper that is designed to work with the newly located mounting, fitment of other bumper skids will be the customer responsibility Stage 3.0H - Similar to the stage 2 with an added front to rear pocket cross member H-Brace - Bolt in design- can also be welded - works with stock swaybar - made from 1/4 steel plate - includes all hardware - Adjustable upper control arms are required for alignment - OEM Engine skid plate can not be reused, replacement available - Front Bumper skid brace mounting is blocked by front brace, KHC offers a frame cut replacement bumper that is designed to work with the newly located mounting, fitment of other bumper skids will be the customer responsibility *ALL 3 STAGES OF THE GEN 2 RAPTOR SLOT DELETE ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A STANDARD F150 DUE TO FRAME DIFFERENCES, THE 13TH GEN F150 (2015-CURRENT) KIT CAN BE FOUND HERE STAGE 1 INSTRUCTIONS
