The ALMONT4WD Rear Shock Absorber Skid Plate is a vehicle-specific rear suspension protection upgrade for Ford Ranger Raptor owners who use their truck off road, on expedition routes or in rough working conditions. It is designed to help shield the rear shock absorber area, including original FOX rear shock absorbers and compression/rebound sensors, from impacts caused by rocks, ruts and trail debris.
Rear suspension components sit in a vulnerable area when a Ranger Raptor is driven over uneven ground. A strike to the lower shock area can turn a capable 4x4 into an expensive recovery problem. This skid plate adds a dedicated barrier around one of the exposed parts of the rear suspension, helping reduce damage risk during technical off-road driving.
This ALMONT4WD skid plate focuses on rear shock absorber protection rather than general underbody coverage. It is aimed at the lower rear suspension zone where trail contact is most likely when the vehicle drops into ruts, crosses rocks or drags over uneven terrain.
This rear shock absorber skid plate is best suited to Ranger Raptor owners who want targeted protection for a known vulnerable point, rather than a purely cosmetic accessory. It is particularly useful for vehicles that regularly see stony tracks, washed-out lanes, rutted ground, overland travel or off-road routes where the rear axle and shock area can be exposed to impact.
If your priority is protecting the fuel tank, gearbox or transfer area, ALMONT4WD offers separate plates for those sections. For a staged armour build, this rear shock skid plate can work alongside the ALMONT4WD Ranger Raptor fuel tank skid plate and the ALMONT4WD gearbox and transfer skid plate. For broader coverage in one purchase, compare it with the ALMONT4WD Ranger Raptor full underbody plate kit.
Select the correct vehicle variant when ordering. The available options cover the Ford Ranger Raptor 2019-2022, the Next Gen Raptor 3.0L Petrol and the Next Gen Raptor 2.0L Diesel 2022+. These are distinct Ranger Raptor applications, so do not choose by shape or generation alone if your vehicle has been modified or imported.
If you are unsure which option suits your vehicle, confirm the model year, engine and vehicle generation before fitting. The product is for Ranger Raptor applications only and should not be assumed to fit other Ranger models.
This is not a simple bolt-on accessory. ALMONT4WD specifies TIG spot welding of the bracket/support to the tie rod, so installation should be planned with a competent fabricator or professional workshop. Correct positioning matters because the skid plate sits close to suspension components and sensors.
Before installation, check that the selected variant matches the vehicle, inspect the rear shock area and make sure any existing suspension modifications do not create clearance issues. If your build uses non-standard rear shock hardware, confirm suitability before committing to fitting.
The key reason to choose this product is its focused role. A full underbody armour kit protects several areas, but this skid plate is for the rear shock absorber zone specifically. That makes it a practical upgrade when the rest of the vehicle already has protection, or when the rear suspension area is your main concern after off-road use.
For Ranger Raptor owners building a serious trail, touring or expedition setup, targeted rear suspension protection can help reduce the chance of impact damage in a place that is difficult to ignore once damaged. It is a functional armour part for drivers who want their underbody protection strategy to include the rear shock and sensor area, not just the front, gearbox and fuel tank sections.
