Re: Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
No long explanation needed. Just take off the U-bolt nuts and the shock bolt and put on the skid. You can get it all back up and then compress the shock to get it in. My friend and I did these yesterday in 45 min. I reccommend powdercoating! That was the first time that I had parts coated. DO IT!! It was 40 bills to do both plates. BEAUTIFUL!!!
I am glad I had my air system finally hooked up to rip the nuts off. Previous wheeling and abuse made them a bit tough to get off. Thank goodness I wasn't using a wrench.

Re: Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
Garner,
Sorry to go OT for a second, but
Do you always roll with the rear sway bar disconnected? If so, how do you like that around town?

Re: Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
Thanks Hunner, Santa arrived today with a box full of metal. These things are built tough, I'll have installed tonight for a work-out in MOAB...

Re: Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
Cool!! Be careful welding, Paul...disconnect both pos & neg battery cables & touch together to do an auto shutoff on the computers, then wait 15 minutes.
Got that tidbit from my service manager, he said there's something like 6 different computer modules to protect from frying out.
Use a ratchet strap to hold up the shock.

Re: Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
I took off the rear sway bar per advice from some XJ friends. The rear gets a little bit more articulation. Around town I don't notice. That could be because I drive it like a Cadillac....slow and smooth....
I just got to get on the front plates now.
When welded on, can you still remove the spring easily?

Re: Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
I don't believe it can ever touch. I ran Long Ranch and inspected mine and had painted that area so I could see if it did. I stretched everything including my rear bumper and they did not touch the spring. The first set they had them a little tall on the front curl. I had it shortened before the production run and now use those two longer ones for door stops.
