Ford Raptor Bump Stop & Bypass Rack Guide | HRD

Bump stops and bypass racks: what's the difference?

Hydraulic bump stops help manage the end of suspension compression, while a bypass rack provides a dedicated mounting structure for additional shocks. These are related parts of an off-road suspension system, but they aren't interchangeable and they aren't always sold as one package.

Gen 1 HRD Bump Stop Kit

The HRD Gen 1 mounting kit uses weld-on brackets for compatible hydraulic bump stops. The bump stops themselves are listed separately, and welding is required. View the Gen 1 bump-stop mounting kit.

Gen 3 bolt-on mounting kit

The Gen 3 HRD kit is designed as a bolt-on mounting solution and has 35-package and 37-package choices. The hydraulic bump stops are still separate components. View the Gen 3 bolt-on kit.

HRD bypass racks

HRD's original bypass-rack information identifies frame welding, bed removal and specific shock hardware as part of the installation. The base bypass-rack listing requires the compatible bump-stop setup; an alternate Gen 1/2 package includes the HRD bump-stop mounting kit. The shock, mounting details, freight and any add-ons should be confirmed before ordering.

Questions to ask

Is the vehicle Gen 1, Gen 2 or Gen 3?
Are you buying mounting hardware only, or a setup including hydraulic bump stops?
What shock diameter and travel is being used?
Does installation require cutting, welding or bed removal?
What are the complete parts cost, current lead time and freight charges?
