What’s this mounting point for? - Raptor Rear Axle

[Johnny Rebel]

Changed the oil for the first time yesterday and noticed these mounting tabs facing aft on the rear axle just opposite the rear lower shock mounts. Anybody know what they’re for?

Is it perhaps one of the points used in the assembly line process? The Raptor is too tall and wide for the assembly line so they made temporary spots for it to fit through.

You nailed it! I hadn't seen that article and hadn't considered it being part of the assembly process. Thanks for the link!

The engineers really said, not my problem, fix your assembly line.
