Your Raptor's suspension is there to be enjoyed. These Almont guards add protection around the original rear FOX shocks and their compression and extension sensors, giving valuable suspension components a substantial alloy barrier against rough-ground contact.
A pair of guards for the rear shocks and sensors
The kit contains two guards, with 6 mm SportDuty and 8 mm HeavyDuty options. Both complete kits weigh 5 kg. They suit the listed 2019-2022 2.0 Bi-Turbo and 2023+ 3.0 V6 and 2.0 TdCi Ranger Raptor applications with the original rear FOX shocks.
Choose your version
PDFRS6RAPTOR is the 6 mm SportDuty option. PDFRS8RAPTOR is the 8 mm HeavyDuty option for a thicker guard. Both options protect the same rear shock and sensor area.
Why we recommend Almont
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength protection with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, making it a worthwhile addition to a vehicle you want to keep and use. Wash off mud and road salt to look after the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware.
Almont has specialised in underbody protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Designed and manufactured in Spain, its protection brings that specialist experience to the vehicle you drive and the trips you want to enjoy.

Wash off mud and road salt after use. Almont recommends pressure washing at least annually, or two or three times a year for regular muddy or salty use, and checking bolt tightness annually. Follow the fitting instructions when refitting a guard after maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Do they protect the shock sensors too?
Yes. The guards cover the original rear FOX shock absorbers and their compression and extension sensors on the listed applications.
Are they supplied as a pair?
Yes, the kit contains two guards. Fitting requires TIG spot welding of the support to the suspension link.
Will the plate rust if it gets scraped?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
What does the warranty cover?
Three years against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
