What this turns on

This is one integration problem, not five separate purchases. The adaptive cruise radar sits behind the lower center bumper fascia, the 360-degree camera lives in the grille emblem, and the OEM Gen 3 Raptor grille and the ADD front bumper with its Diode Dynamics pods all have to end up in positions that leave both sensors working. Choosing any one of those parts in isolation is how a truck ends up with a bumper fitted and adaptive cruise permanently disabled. Ford-compatible radar calibration is required once the final bumper position and ride height are set, so this decision cannot close until the suspension and bumper decisions do.

Ordered

Ordered 13 Sep 2026 — with the bumpers

Part number: AC2101501NA

Why this option

The bracket from the same manufacturer as the bumper, which is the shortest path to a radar position the bumper was designed around. ADD has offered it free with qualifying bumpers during recent promotions.

What it actually cost

Part: $255.54
All-in: $255.54

Bought with the bumpers, at the same 5% order discount. Radar calibration after final ride height is a separate cost, not yet incurred.

Sourced relocation solution

Not selected

Specialty Performance Parts / SPV Parts

Why this option

A specialist source for Raptor conversion hardware, which may carry a solution covering both the radar and the grille-mounted camera rather than the radar alone.

Why it wasn't chosen

No specific part was ever identified. Buying the bracket from the same manufacturer as the bumper means the radar sits where the bumper was designed for it.

What it actually cost

Not purchased yet — no cost recorded.

Cost, installation notes, and a verdict will be added here once this part is bought and fitted.

Custom fabrication

Not selected

TBD

Why this option

The fallback if no off-the-shelf bracket positions both sensors correctly behind this particular combination of grille, pods and bumper.

Why it wasn't chosen

Not needed. An off-the-shelf bracket exists for this exact bumper, so fabrication would have been cost and risk for no gain.
