Spring shackle skid plate

angle

Here is an idea I have for the old ones.

Im not tellin but I know who's this is that claims that did not do this in one place and then I find this. Hmmmm just teasing but it makes you think.

what are the cost? if not to high sign me up for a set.

Those look really awesome Hunner. Just let us know, Im sure you will have several takers.

I decided to weld up one of my xtra set where the index slot for the bracket is. It just looked like it was beggin to finish it off. I want these to be strong for when I bounce off a rock with my 5640 lb H3!!

I love them.

Do you thinkit's possible that that skid would bend or be folded up around that bolt?

There is nothing supporting it like there is on the amstar version.

Not sure what you're getting at but here's the original thread where I explained how that happened.

Hmmm I know not of any other additional support on the Amstar. The steel is 3/16. The brackets on mine are in a slot and welded both sides and a full inch wider to cover the bolt head. So hopefully it would not pull away as this one did. Im sure anything can be bent with the right impact. However here is an Amstar that I tested. Which is why we cut the slot. That rock is still the same size!
Yes I was teasing Sewie

On a trail like that the skids will help most by keeping you from getting hung up on that plate.

I guess this was before that happened. I was just messing with you but it is a really great picture to show what can happen. The skid may have been damaged but hopefully would have saved that damage to the other parts. Sorry if you took it the wrong way. Im showing my damage as well. It's a fact it is going to happen.
