Put me down for a set also.

Great. Im going to call the guy and jack him up. Thanks that makes me feel like it will be worthwhile to get 20 sets to start. I need mine now!
Let me know if you ever come up to the Superlift park. I know you got mud down in hope, right? I ordered some Mickey Thompson Baja MTX tires just so I can play in the mud.

[garnerbiker]

Do you have sketches that we can see? Anything?

[Hunner]

Yeah it looks sort of like this only 1 inch wider towards the inside under the shock and more radiused on the big end. Im sorry as you are this guy is backed up. Im going to pay a drop in visit there in a few minutes. Hang on.

[garnerbiker]

How's this guy doing? Are we going to have to wait till Jan or later? Let us know when you get an update.

Sure thing, Shawn from Angry Iron. Don't try to use an AE to pimp something. I hate when people do this.

I got excited about getting them made and probably posted all that too soon. I wanted to find out if it was going to be something worthwhile. He swears he is going to get on it. Its a big place and I see lots of product moving. Im going up today to get the one I left up there back. Im going wheeling this weekend and I would feel exposed with out it. Im running my reinforced rock rails also for the first time. You guys hang in there I want them as bad as you do and Im trying not to get pushy and stay on the good side of this guy. Although that is not my nature. Thats why I got on the rails myself.

Im interested but want to know more. Can these go on without any added mods to existing systems like steering, supspension, etc. Will the guy making them assure the welds for some period of time? If so count me in

[Hunner]

These don't interfere with anything. They really are only slightly below the end of the ubolts. The welds will be industry standard deep burn mig welds which will be the strongest part. You could possibly bend one some if hit right but it would do its job. I think 3/8 would be a little much and would require longer ubolts.
Here is a good shot of why I am including the front piece. Under that loose stuff is a big rock.

I actually found this on another forum after I asked if anyone had problems without them on trips to famous places on this forum. I guess the name should remain anonymous because the reply was they did not have any problems. It is a real good example of what you will have to fix in addition to a shock on the trail if you really smash it up.

[Hunner]

Here is a fresh shot with one on and one off. The one that is on is the design that needs to be 1 inch wider towards the inside to protect the bolt head. They will both be wider. Im trying to say brand "A" was not wide enough and the radius on the back turned up part is more so as not to stick out as much. Anybody see anything else missing?? You can also see my added 3/8 by three inch strip I added under the Rocky Road rock rails. I posted a shot on the thread but will stick it in here.
