Control Arm Skids - are they Unobtanium for the X?

[BigMeanTam]

I may be teh fail at searching, but I haven't seen much (aka anything) on control arm skids for the X. I am beating the H&ll out of mine... does anyone sell them? Or is this going to be a custom fab thing?

Appreciate any info!

I wonder if they would impede the movement of teh suspension? Maybe that's why no one makes em. I'm trying t imagine how they'd be applied and can't come up with anythng nthat would work well.

Ah, I see. Thanks for posting that thread! You, my man, are a rock star. So there's seriously nothing really available aftermarket for the '08, seems like...

How have your custom set worked out for you? Anything you'd change?

Thanks! Havent been installed yet. Now that my Titan dif is back they will all be installed at the same time. I will certainly report back then!

Oz. I'd completely forgot about you doing these.

If I do the full TS swap, will do the same. Thought about doing full-on fabricated chrome moly lowers, but what for?
Nobody has had any issues with the stockers, and plated & beefed up is more than strong enough.
Definitely want to add bump stops for sure, and possibly replace the coil buckets with hoops.

Waiting to see how syndicatex's TS swap goes and looks. Definitely want the travel & ride improvement for the desert running.
