So how much does everyone think they are worth? $100?Maybe powder coated in blue or yellow or my personal favorite "black" with a slightly different shape to avoid any patent. I mean skids are skids and have to fit the application. Im not sure the bottom holes are necessary. Re-Torque the bolts while installing. How often has anyone done that on a vehicle. Yea some mud will get on them but can be powerwashed off. Its not going to run off down those holes after they get plugged up. Just asking. If people are polishing there drive shafts and painting mufflers who knows whats possible?

Most skids I have seen on the market (all for other vehicles ) are in the $45-75 range. Considering the low volume for this skid I think $75 is fair but I could stomach $100 and would purchase at that price.

You need the bottom holes to re-apply and torque the u-bolt nuts. This is what similar models look like not installed:







Oh, by the way... None of the above are over $60 for the pair.

Good info. Does anyone know a dealer that carries the Amstar ones. My dealer parts guy was totally out of touch. Monday I plan to talk to the owner and see if he can get up to speed on this. I would buy a set just to fab up something but not reinvent the wheel so to speak.

Those are great, but....

I would love it if the H3 had a spring over set-up in the rear. Then, we could do away with them all together. If you put the springs over the axle, we would probably get a 6" lift. Way too much! I wish there was an option to go spring over and replace the springs to lift it 2-4". Oh well, I guess that I will have to deal with the allready kick ass capabilities of the stock truck.
