Baja Designs
Built and raced the first forward-projecting LED bar at the 2005 Baja 1000, and still sells vehicle-specific Raptor kits so nobody has to fabricate brackets. The Squadron behind-the-grille kit for 2021+ trucks is the default answer for night desert.

Other shops worth the drive
Camburg Engineering
Jerry Zaiden and Jason Campbell have been building Raptor long-travel since Gen 1, and the Performance LT kit widens track 1.5 inches per side, pushes the wheel forward an inch for firewall clearance, and runs a 1.50 uniball at the knuckle. Call them if you want a kit engineered next to a $300k trophy truck program instead of adapted from a lift kit.
Known for: Raptor long-travel and KINETIK trophy trucks
Deaver Spring
The Gen 2 rear pack is twelve leaves of American 5160 steel, and it kills factory axle wrap and squat while deleting the lift block. A blacksmith shop since 1892 and still bending springs in Santa Ana — this is the cheapest mod that actually changes how the truck rides loaded.
Known for: The rear leaf pack every Raptor gets
ICON Vehicle Dynamics
Sells Raptor suspension as numbered Stage 1 through Stage 4 packages built on 3.0 shocks, so you buy a defined setup instead of guessing at part numbers. Shocks, arms, springs and bumpstops are made in-house in Riverside, but Raptors are one platform among many here — confirm fitment for your generation before ordering.
Known for: Staged bolt-on Raptor shock packages
