Upper control arm skids? Alternative

[GATORB8]

You have to understand I’m not like gunning it or anything I’m just slowly driving over rocks rarely do I bump myself up stuff but my jeep is factory height so that’s the big problem, we working on that slowly but surely

Don't think I've Fubar'd the fronts, but I bent the passenger rear stock bracket before installing the Rusty's skids. It bent at the LCA mounting tabs, and I had to bend them back to remove the arms.

i didnt know you could really even hit that part of the LCA lol. let alone that were skids for them. i have the rockhard lca skids and they are full bolt through and tough as nails. surprised to see them that weak for those. i guess RH figures no one would really be hitting there, except OP lol.

even if theyre bent, theyre still protecting. id say just leave them and take it a bit easier on the rocks.

I have skids on my skids because I pick shitty lines sometimes. But when I do drag across my skids, I try to go as slow as possible just to hear the skids screech in protest so I can justify the time I spent to install all of them.

This high clearance one was the one I was looking at

Never seen that one. Looks good.

I cut off the exhaust tips and put removable ones on. So if they get damaged a 15mm wrench is all I need.

Hey I purposely take harder lines now that I’m plated, because I feel safer doing so with all my plates

Yesterday Corral Hollow trail to the bear tapers cabin around and back to hw4 at Bear Valley ski resort.
Not to difficult. Almost got it flexed out. Looks Like it may be rubbing a little.

The Barnes plates look nice, but I'd be tempted to round that corner's leading edge a bit before paint and install.
