80 series rear lower shock mount guard

[bhmmapping]

Recently I changed out the rear shocks on my truck and noticed that the lower shock mounts had taken some rock hits. I have always thought the mounts seemed vulnerable hanging so low, so I put together some simple guards to protect the bolt and lower shock end.

I made a few sets to start and will make more if there is enough interest.

$30 shipped per set unpainted - send me a private message if you want a set and I will send you my paypal address.

Update November 2015 - I am not making these anymore.

Look what arrived?! Christmas early?
These things are so much more beefier than i would've imagined... Can't wait to abuse these things this coming weekend at Morris Mountain... Almost no need in saying "I'll post back the results".... BUT I WILL! Thanks for an awesome product!

good grief, those are beefy. What is the material?

the tube is 2" pipe - so it is .15" thick. The plate in the middle is 1/8". I have experimented with a couple of different plate sizes, and the 1/8" seemed like the best fit to me since it is nearly the same size as the pipe and allows more thread engagement with the original bolt.

nice!

Btw, sorry Matt for throwing up on your thread.

too much drama for your mama, got the shock protectors and they are cool for sure. Ideas are stolen and improved upon daily in the business world, that's the way things work. You gotta make it better, cheaper and flashier if you want to compete.

No problem. Thanks for standing up for me. With all that drama you would think these things are flying off the shelf - I still have most of the first batch just sitting there.

 

[bhmmapping]

Still have a few sets left that I would like to get rid of - how 'bout $30 shipped for an unpainted pair?

Just one?

I'm out of the current batch. I've got to pick up another piece of tube to run a few more sets, I should have them ready next week.

I'd be interested in a pair when you have another batch ready.

Thanks.

Matt,

Thanks for offering a such well made product! It shipped quickly and was received as described. I definitely recommend the shout mount guard, and Matt is a awesome guy to deal with offering fantastic customer service!

 

[bhmmapping]

I am going to try and make another batch this week, I will send everyone who has expressed interest a PM when they are ready.

 

[bhmmapping]

I've got another batch ready to go and have plenty of steel to make more if anyone wants a pair.
