I’m feeling lazy after having wy Lower Rear Arm Bracket Skid install go south on the passenger side. Drivers is on at least.

What is this? Mounted outboard on the passenger side frame. Cover is off.

The wonderful thing about Ford Parts, you can spend hours looking for the right part and walk away with nothing for your BRaptor. This is as close as I got, ML3Z18B008J

We may need a 1/2" spacer (4x, 2 or 3 flat washers) to install the
FMI protectors.

Thanks for the attempt, I googled it and found a similar part number on other ford vehicles it appears that it’s a controller for the suspension.

as I was attempting to put my skid on it dawned on me that the controller is somewhat exposed. It’s tucked up there, but not impervious from an odd boulder or log popping up. It might have been nice if Foutz had welded a little wing down below it to protect it from a direct hit.

much like my exhaust system. The hit is likely to strike the harness where it attaches. The controller isnt expensive ( F150 Raptor is $133 discounted) and would be easy to replace, but the harness could be a whole different thing getting it out.
