spring shackle skid plate again
I found this picture somewhere and have searched several forums looking for the info on it. Does anyone happen to know where this is? I have looked at the Amstar and may have to go with that. I need something to show my fabshop to start with and then go from there.
I of course could not wait and have already nicked the edge. A near miss of the shock. This is mine on a Superlift trail in Hot Springs Arkansas.

Re: spring shackle skid plate again
That is the Amstar one. Notice the rock rails with the solid red skid in the picture. They should be showing up at dealerships now, but of course they're overpriced. Should be pretty easy for a fab shop to come up with something similar.

Re: spring shackle skid plate again
I thought this was the Amstar. I dont know where that other one came from. Im still looking. It looks like it would protect things if you roll back on those big hills.
I finally ordered the ones from Amstar thru a dealer in South Dakota since my local Arky dealership has no clue to what the rest of the world is doing.

Re: spring shackle skid plate again
They're the same thing. But the picture with scrapes was taken through a fisheye lens and looks distorted.

And from a different angle.

Re: spring shackle skid plate again
I got a pair of the Amstar Skids and they are black not red!
They curve up in front and in the rear which will really protect the shock and shock mounting bolt.
Pictures when I get them installed.

What dealer did you order from? My dealer barely knows anything about the AMStar products.

Re: spring shackle skid plate again
email AMstar and tell them you are getting no help from the dealer. (It worked for me)
You can tell your dealer the part #'s are in the AMG system. If your dealer has done any business in H1's they gotta know what you are talking about. See part #'s and more info here:

Re: spring shackle skid plate again
Whoops - I didn't realize there were two threads going on this. Anyway, it was a painfull experience, but I got the skids ordered. Should have them in two weeks.
