ROCK HARD 4X4 Front Control arm skids.

[swang]

Did you end up TQ-ing these to 190 as well?

Hey conFUcius,
I never installed mine, still in the box with the aftermarket bolts I bought. I didn’t want to go through the clunking issues, so I was holding off. Earlier this week I had a lift installed and also had front LCA skids welded on. If anyone wants my RockHard skids (front and rear), they are for sale .

Guess I’ll be the one reporting back, haha.

I went with Rancho rear control arm skids and have never had a clunking issue with them. I'm on my second set of RH front skids and now with the aftermarket bolts and they still clunk! I've gone through having both sets powdercoated red (to match the Ranchos and my Yeti track bars), then had them installed, removed, new set installed with aftermarket bolts..... just for them to start clunking again not long after RRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Sad to hear about the clunking :\ I've been not paying attention to my Jeep much as of late, but I have a feeling cause of this thread I'm gonna keep putting of the install of these over other projects when I get back on it

Yeah, you just went through torquing it all down to stop your clunking, but it’s worth it to upgrade the hardware. I just did exactly that from the same source. It’s really not that bad, once you remove a nut just drive the bolt out with a new one to keep everything lined up, then put the new one in and drive your line-up bolt out. It keeps everything from coming apart and having to realign it all each time.

Darn clever! (Wish I'd thought of it ?)

I’m using RH on the front axle and frame sides, Rusty’s rear frame, and Artec rear axle. As of now, with all torques correct, no clunking. Fingers crossed.

I kinda liked getting the bare metal Rusty’s… get them powder coated red

I spoke too soon. Now I have clunking. Ugh,
