CKD0480 – KAOS CNC ALUMINUM CHASSIS SIDE PLATES (BLACK ANODIZED, 2PCS) – F250 / F450 LIFTED CHASSIS
The CEN Racing CKD0480 KAOS CNC Aluminum Chassis Side Plate Set is a two-piece black-anodized chassis upgrade intended specifically for lifted CEN Ford F-250 and F-450 chassis configurations. CEN identifies CKD0480 as a CNC aluminum side-plate set, supplied as 2 pieces, and lists it in the DL-Series / F-450 upgrade catalog.

WHAT THE CHASSIS SIDE PLATES DO
The chassis side plates form a major structural interface along the truck frame. They locate and connect suspension, crossmember and accessory mounting points while defining the longitudinal geometry of the chassis. Because CKD0480 is intended for a lifted configuration, correct interaction with the corresponding suspension-link and bracket setup is essential.
LIFTED-CHASSIS FITMENT
CEN explicitly lists CKD0480 for F250 or F450 lifted chassis. Do not assume these plates are a direct replacement for every stock-height DL-Series configuration. CEN's own F250 suspension-combo listing pairs CKD0480 with the CKD0380 lifted-suspension linkage set, reinforcing that CKD0480 belongs within a specific lifted-chassis geometry.
CNC ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION
CEN confirms CNC aluminum construction and a black-anodized finish. Official imagery shows extensive machined cutouts and multiple mounting positions across each plate. GASHEAD RC does not claim a quantified increase in chassis stiffness, durability, strength or weight reduction because CEN does not publish comparative engineering test data for CKD0480.
INSTALLATION & ALIGNMENT NOTES
- Confirm the build uses the intended lifted F250/F450 chassis and matching suspension geometry before installation.
- Transfer or install chassis crossmembers, suspension brackets and related hardware without forcing misaligned holes into position.
- Start all screws by hand before final tightening.
- Check that both chassis plates remain parallel and are not pulled inward or outward by unevenly tightened crossmembers.
- Verify suspension links, driveshafts, steering and body mounts clear through full suspension travel.
- Recheck chassis and suspension hardware after the first driving sessions and after hard impacts.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
CEN confirms 2 chassis side plates. Dealer listings also describe these as chassis plates only and specifically note that the complete vehicle is not included. CEN's public page does not provide a complete screw-by-screw hardware inventory, so GASHEAD RC does not assume additional hardware beyond the manufacturer package.
MANUFACTURER DATA NOT PUBLISHED
CEN's current CKD0480 listing does not publish plate thickness, aluminum alloy grade, temper, anodizing thickness, individual plate dimensions, total set weight, mounting-hole spacing, fastener sizes, recommended torque or quantified chassis-rigidity improvement. Those values are intentionally not estimated or invented.
Product designation, CNC-aluminum construction, black-anodized finish, two-piece quantity, lifted F250/F450 fitment, current price and all five official product images were checked against CEN Racing's CKD0480 product page and KAOS catalog.
