Default EVO RockStar Skids Needed!

We got a Jeep into the shop yesterday that was in some serious need of EVO RockStars. These pictures really illustrate why the EVO RockStars were developed.

Just have your front and rear control arm skids (didn't splurge on the rock stars) and know I have hit the rear pretty hard once already...I am not sure if you can even see the scratches on it to know it.

These have moved to the top of my list of mods. never really thought of purchasing skids yet and now Im lookng for control arm skids and oil pan skid at least before I go out again. One question, Do you have to cut the old shock mounts off for these to go on?

sm rubi what kind of shocks are those and how do you like them.

Also did you guys need to get shocks that were 2" shorter?

One more question, why are the sway bar links mounted on the outside in picture one and on the inside in picture 3?

Yes, you get to remove inches from the low hanging control arm mount. This allows you to gain much needed ground clearance in the rear and gives additional protection to control arms and shocks.

The EVO weld on rear skids will be a perfect addition after you give your rear brackets some "motivation". The EVO RCS will gusset them so you will not have to motivate them again.
