The Ford Raptor is undoubtedly the most capable off-road production vehicle on the market, but it does have a weak point when it comes to off-roading: the Spindle. At Rogue Racing off-roading is our passion and we are constantly pushing the limits and boundaries of our vehicles., When we encounter a road block we don't look for a way around it we look for a way right through it. And that is what we did when we designed our Ford Raptor Suspension line. First thing was first though, we needed to design a spindle capable enough to handle off-roading and thats exactly what we did. We set out to work earlier this year tirelessly designing the strongest aftermarket spindle available. After the first generation of spindles were tested, we were very pleased, but we knew we could push ourselves even more and design an even lighter, stronger spindle. So where most would have been satisfied we pushed ourselves even further. After many protoypes and tests, we are confident our newest design is the absolute best solution available! It has been rigorously tested and we are pleased to say it surpassed even our expectations!
Fords OEM Spindles were not designed to withstand the stress of off-roading. And lets face it, certainly not durable enough for the type of off-roading that serious desert dwellers like ourselves want to do. Cast materials that stock spindles were never intended to be welded, heated or bent, neither are they resilient to vibration. We needed to address the two most common areas of failure and we went with a trophy truck style design approach.
Like all of our products we start with three dimensional CAD engineering and designed our spindles with a robust 8" .250 wall chromoly tube platform to ensure serious strength. This design is the only of its kind in the industry. They are machines out of 2" steel, then welded (either mig or tig depending on preference) and then sent back to be final machined for exact tolerances. This process ensures that the spindles are square, will maintain correct steering geometry and will slip right into place with no rubbing of existing stock components.
So if you actually plan on taking your Raptor off-road you can do so with peace of mind that you are, most importantly safe, but also getting the best possible performance out of your truck. Ford gave us a great jumping off point for off-roading , but Rogue has once again has identified a problem and conquered it. These spindles will take your Raptor safely to the next level of off-road performance.
