Question Rear Control Arm & Shock Bracket Skids ?
Anyone know of a manufacturer that is making Rear Lower Control Arm & Shock Bracket Skids ?

I know T & T/ Treks has rear shock relocation brackets.

But I am looking for something that protects the enitre Rear Lower Control Arm & Shock bracket.

THANKS !

Off Road Evolution Evo Rear Lower Control Arm Skids



Constructed of 3/16" steel, laser cut and CNC bent. These rear lower control arm skids conform directly to Rear JK Lower Control Arm brackets. These weld on brackets give protection to your control arm joints, rear shocks and prevent your factory control arm brackets from bending.

or

Off Road Evolution Evo Rock Star Skids



These rear lower control arm skids with shock relocation bracket built in will give you 1.5 inches of increased ground clearance under the lower control arm and raise the lower shock mount 2 inches for max articulation.

I haven't seen anything that will cover the whole area. I have seen a few shock skids and Rancho makes a skid for the control arm bracket up front.
