I bought these and had them installed by my local shop while they did lower and upper rear control arms, sliders and so on, so I can’t attest to how easy or difficult they are to install, however I just went and ran a 7 rated trail with stockish clearence and ended up semi beached on one of these, got out and took a look, saw that I was one this little skid, decided to just gas out of it, pivoted 20 degrees or so on this little guy before the car pulled itself off, got out, checked for damage, a couple scuffs to the paint but I’m very glad I didn’t bash my brand new lowers, this skid held up, take that as you will

When I jack up my car, removed the bolt, the axle did not move. However, after I finish drilling, the rear axle did move for half an inch. I tried to use heavy duty ratchet straps to put it back, however that require too much strength. So I have to send it to a shop to fix it. The shop owner literally mocked at me for drilling a hole in the frame.

Paid for itself when off-roading. These are sturdy and easy to install. However, the 4x fasteners that need to screw into the top frame after drilling the holes do not seems like it will not hold for very long and there a gap left in between the slider and frame. I did not want to overtighten it as to not strip the hole i drilled. But only time will tell. Someone suggested using a self tapping screw. But it held up well on the trail and already has some gashes. I never thought I'd have a big smile when someone told me I bashed up my skid! Recommend this to everyone off-roading for peace of mind.
