Ford Raptors are some of the most hardcore off-road vehicles out there today. First introduced in 2009, the Blue Oval pickups changed the game of what people thought an OEM could offer on a 4×4 truck. The Raptor embodied an off-road spirit right from the get-go thanks to purpose-built shock absorbers, wide track width, and high-horsepower engines. But these trucks still have weak points in their rubber bushings, which is why PROTHANE is proud to announce its new crop of bushings for these high-performance pickups.

We spoke with PROTHANE’s PR manager, Art Niese, to find out more information on the bushings. First and foremost is acknowledging PROTHANE’s use of performance urethane as the primary material in the bushings, rather than rubber found in most factory bushings.

“By switching to our performance urethane bushings, Raptor owners will find they enjoy higher durability and greater stability in steering and alignment,” said Niese. “Our performance urethane is more resistant to sand and dirt contamination because of the inherent material. Each and every bushing is engineered to give the vehicle improved steering and durability.”

What’s more, PROTHANE’s new offerings for the Raptors extends to both first-generation (2009-14) and second-generation (2017-20) Raptors. “Our kits will take care of the front control arms, as well as the rear leaf springs,” Niese explained.

The part numbers for the kits are as follows:

• 2009-14 Raptor front control arm bushing kit (PN 6-223)
• 2009-14 Raptor rear leaf spring kit (PN 6-319)
• 2017-20 Raptor front control arm bushing kit (PN 6-224)
• 2017-20 Raptor rear leaf spring kit (PN 6-320)

Equipping Raptors for the long trail ahead is what these PROTHANE bushings are all about. Enhanced durability, better steering and stability, and high longevity are what you stand to gain when you choose PROTHANE for your bushing replacements.
