I'm in the process of completely armoring out my Front and Rear D44's with Evo products. Shopping cart has 44magnum tubes, front LCA skids, C2-Gussets, and now I'm debating between the rear LCA skids or the Rock Star brackets.

For those that have the Rock Star Skids how easy was the install (says "bolt on" on site, but then notes cut/grinding req.) and were there any issues with a 4" lift shock? They look a lot beefier than the rear LCA skids. More ground clearance/articulation sounds nice too

 

We are running them, easy install...what you mention is the cutting off of the extra long lower shock mount point which isn't hard. We are running them with the 4" ORE Plush Coil Springs and King 2.5 shocks.


Love the extra clearance they provide articulation is awesome as well!

Yeah it's the angle of the pic...they're actually pretty long. Had some issues with wheel bs and the extended front lines after going with the front coil overs (especially the abs lines) getting cut...I couldn't get spacers prior to EJS but all is well now front and rear.

 

Sweet pics

So are they worth the extra $ in comparison to the Rear LCA skids?

 

I have them, took about an hour to install. With 3.25" of total lift (TF pucks) I'm running stock shocks. I don't have a rear swaybar and at full compression and extensions, there's about half an inch left of travel both ways. Non extended bumpstops on the rear. GREAT flex.

 

Get the rock star skids. One of the best mods we did. Used to always get hung up and smash up the OEM shock housing and the bolt that holds them in. Now we hardly come close hitting anything.

 

these look sweet, anyone have any install pics like before, during, after?

My rear sway bar has been lowered at the frame due to my lift kit, this would let me get it back up to where it belongs, and add rear ground clearance.

Anyone have any issues with all that drop and the factory rear driveshaft?

I already have extended brake lines all the way around...

 

When I did the rock star skids I also did the Synergy upper shock relocation brackets. Easy install especially if you weld them. Posted the only pics I have.
