These upgraded U-bolt skid plates reposition the hardware above the bottom edge of the leaf spring, dramatically improving ground clearance and reducing the risk of damage while off-roading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from strong 3\/16-inch laser-cut steel, these plates are designed to fit 1-3\/4” wide stock or lift-kit leaf springs. Each kit includes shorter U-bolts to match the raised mounting location, and an integrated raised shock mount for improved protection. Field-tested on the Rubicon, these skids are a proven upgrade for stock-height flat fenders that sit low from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll versions include installation hardware.
