It didnt seem like I was hitting them very much. Of course I was not driving much either

maybe have your local guy make you his version of the rock stars this way you get the clearance and stronger and maybe cheaper mounts

I've seen how much some of you guys get charged to fabricate anything, for that reason I think EVO would be cheaper

Anyone make anything for the rear mounting location for the front lower control arms? I think I'm going the EVO route for the foremost and rear most control arm/shock mounting locations.

If I dont skid mine theyll look the same in a few more trail runs. I'm ordering the evo rockstars for the rear and the evo front lower ca skids for the front. The rear diff and the lower control arm mounts are the only things I really seem to hit. The Teraflex CA mounts hold up great, but the axle ends on my JK are taking a beating.

PIAJ just have your fab guy make some and just check the welds on the axle tube to make sure they are not cracked. I made mine in about two hours thursday night before heading to JK Fest

I would say EVO Rock Stars all the way!!! I'm thinking about doing those so what happened to yours doesn't happen to mine!

Fab guy said, $200, for custom built and weld new brackets on the rear axle. At this point. I think I need new brackets.
