Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
I can have these made now. I lost a long post I was going to send and Im out of time. The simple fact is I got screwed on the ones I bought. They are not wide enough to do the job. So I am going to have these made.
NO paint. I could but would add to the price. Finish anyway you would like. When I get a tenative idea of the number I can sell I will bite the bullet and get a batch run. I will send the pictures of the front and mine mounted just as soon as I get them. Then take orders.
A pair with the front pieces will be $150 including shipping.
(don't make this complicated by wanting to bust up the set) I will charge $150 with or without. There is not much point in not putting on the front ones. The front ones will have to be tacked welded to save a lot of work. These are not bling so if you wheel on rocks you will wish you had them before you crush something.
I have to buy boxes and packing and take them to UPS
every time I ship. I don't do this for a living. Just trying to be a help to other frustrated Hummer owners.
Check all of my other posts. They will be one inch wider to protect the shock bolt. The front ones have a radius curve on the back and are wide enough to protect the mount.
It would help if I got some idea of how many upfront I could sell. They want me to get 10 pairs to start. If I could speculate and get more I might trim the price. It is a small run for them and they are really being nice to take it on. The owner is a wheeler from the past and understands our frustration.

Re: Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
Great! I can see the interest starting. Im really tired of being taken by the big guys and thought this was one way I could help ease the pain for others. I made a set from scratch and saw how time consuming that would be to make a bunch. I hope to meet Monday with the fab shop. (again) Im going to hopefully get a set soon so I can shoot pictures. I want everybody to see what they are getting. The spring shackle lower plate has a protrusion in the center that makes it necessary to have the brackets split, similiar to the other ones I have seen. We are laser cutting a slit for alignment and to weld under the brackets for strength. (I have tested brand "A") The spacing of the bolts makes that a given as well. Which means by design they have to be a particular size and shape.
I said before the main improvement and difference is basically one of the primary reasons for the plate and that is to protect the shock bolt head and bottom of the shock. This requires a full inch wider plate along the inside edge.
It may be cheaper to just go ahead and get the 20 sets he wants me to commit to when he sets up to run. The biggest cost seems to be for time. I hope to get pictures of the laser process and press operation.
I want to help those that bought brand "A" so I may see if I can get extra front ones run at the same time.
I will post just as soon as I get them.
Buck fever around here has slowed the process. They should be out on our trails. (NOT) I see deer all the time. Im glad they can't hunt out there I would have to have an orange Hummer!

Re: Spring hanger/shock mount skid plate
Im working on it. I took the mock up back Monday and he is supposed to email me a 3D cad drawing for approval. Look in all the other posts and the rear lower skid looks like the brand "A" but 1 inch wider and welded differently to be stronger. The front one is radiused to fit around the mount and taper back. I know Im excited about getting them. I will post the pictures of the real thing the day I get them. I bought some boxes and packing today.
