I would like to know too.

After removing my side steps I noticed the sensors seemed very vulnerable so I purchased them. Easy to install and looks like it will do the job. Hope this helps

Could you please end pics and the experience installing them.

Pics are pretty much the same as you see on this thread.
Remove the plastic cover and sensor bracket. The new cover attaches to the sensor where the old bracket did (Smaller bolts in the pics) then uses one of the bolts you removed from the plastic shield and a bolt provided with the kit to attach to the frame. About 30 minutes to install

Understand. I never trust pictures from the company.
I just prefer the picture from a the end user.

These don’t protect the sensor wiring or plug at all, which is the primary issue from brush or other debris. There are others on the market which provide this protection.

@Franco appreciate the feedback...of those found on-line seems to be the most 'robust'.
Sounds like to issues with fitment based on your comments.

By chance, did you opt for the 'Add-on Sensor Wire Protector Plates' ?

Good point...looks like sensor module was Foutz design focus

Hey Joe - I am really new too this vehicle so when I removed the steps the issue became obvious. FMI seems to be focused on making the RR better so I looked to them first.
You are correct it is super robust
Two - Thanks for making me aware of the wire protector! Definitely gonna add!

Agree. That is why I went with the other option.

@Deepsea619 @RANGER/HOBB - Concur, appreciate y'alls feedback!

Although prefer to buy Foutz Motorsports [American], selected the RA Raptor solution.
Seemly offers the best 'band-aid' solution at a fair total cost; at least for me.

As an aside, opted for RA Raptor tailgate bottle opener and bag holder for good measure too

Agree on everything you said. The only reason why I went with the other option is because of the extra protection to the wiring housing.

 

[RANGER/HOBB]

I as well, but the Foutz Motorsports simply don’t address the primary issue. I’ve been using the RA’s since I’ve had the truck.
