The ICON 95121 Rear Bump Stop System is "ICON 1K" tested under rigorous off-road conditions to validate tune, performance, strength, and durability, providing a comprehensive upgrade for 2017-2020 Ford Raptor owners seeking enhanced off-road capability. This complete system replaces the factory foam bump stops with a sophisticated hydraulic solution designed to control suspension travel and protect the frame during aggressive off-road driving.
Complete System Includes:
- 2.5-inch travel hydraulic bump stops with velocity sensitive damping technology
- Heavy-duty steel clamshell brackets for frame reinforcement
- 6061 billet aluminum crossmember for increased chassis rigidity
- Adjustable tension rods for frame preloading
- All necessary mounting hardware for complete installation
Advanced Hydraulic Technology:
The hydraulic bump stops use oil and nitrogen to function as both a spring and a shock, incorporating a damping piston internally to control the amount of energy returned to the suspension, reducing the vehicle's tendency to kick. The velocity sensitive technology exponentially increases bottom-out resistance as shaft speed increases, providing progressive damping that won't negatively affect suspension articulation during slower movements.
Structural Enhancements:
The system significantly strengthens critical frame areas through multiple reinforcement components. The adjustable tension rods allow the frame to be preloaded to withstand torsional force during hard impacts, while the steel clamshell brackets distribute load forces across a wider area to prevent frame damage. The billet aluminum crossmember ties the frame rails together, increasing overall chassis rigidity for more predictable handling and improved vehicle dynamics.
Installation:
No fabrication or bed removal is required for the installation of this bolt-on design. The system is engineered as a direct replacement for the factory bump stops, with all mounting points utilizing existing frame locations.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces harsh rear-end kick over rough terrain
- Vehicle specific bump stop tune provides smooth engagement and excellent ride quality
- Prevents metal-to-metal contact during suspension compression
- Increases frame strength in high-stress areas
- Heavy duty 1.25-inch CNC machined nitro steel shafts with multi-stage CAD plated body for maximum corrosion resistance
- Maintains full suspension articulation for technical terrain
This system represents ICON Vehicle Dynamics' most comprehensive rear bump stop solution for the Gen 2 Ford Raptor, combining structural reinforcement with advanced hydraulic damping technology to maximize both performance and durability in extreme off-road conditions.
