Default Re: spring shackle skid plate again

Can you spell Hummer? What's your point posting links to J e e P stuff? Yea that's great but??
Its not as universal as some may think. Unless someone has actually tried a cross over. Like really bolted one on. If they were all generic why are so many models listed??

I think even with the right equipment there is a hard way and an easy way. Im working on having some either laser cut or stamped. Im not sure how often everyone else torques their spring shackles but if its cheaper without the holes then so be it. Just building one set from scratch could be done with what I got but I was looking into an easy way so they would be cheaper, by the dozen??
Run right out and build ya some.

Won't be tomorrow, but it's gonna happen. It's not rocket science and it's not expensive. With the plasma cutter, it might take about an hour each, max. I can't EVEN imagine how cheap they'd be to make from an assembly line. While I'm under there, I'll make a diff skid too.

I would not discount the jeep stuff or FJ stuff so fast. Most later model springs are about the same width, and use the same size U-bolts. So get out a tape measure and do some homework, it pays off!

Better yet, do a spring over axle and a front SAS
