Here are the ones sdhq has. They are synergy. And 10 bucks

 

yeah this was what i found. i was hoping for a large plate that covers both u bolts and welds to the axle outside of them, but im not sure they make that. that way theyd be protected, and i wouldn't chew through delrin pads

 

Put up a pic of what you need, and where it's hitting

 

he needs one the goes over the u bolt though, cause the bump hits the ubolt...same with my truck lol

 

You would probably have to fab that up. Or modify one. I think these fit in between the ubolts.

 

something like that but a little wider and lower... i will probably have to build it myself

 

you could cut it down...just pick up some 1/4 steel and cut it out...like how jordans is.

 

yeah i'm just trying to avoid grinder time but it seems it is inevitable

 

no such thing lol

 

So your bumps are bumping off the axle?

 

indeed, as depicted in the photo. which is why I am in need of pads. also need straps too. currently trying to get all of that squared away

 

Just make sure you build it so that you can still get the u-bolts off if you ever need to.

Some of my biggest fabrication regrets involve a "good" idea, 15 minutes, and a welder; and end up taking hours to deal with whatever I overlooked at a later time.

 

You'd be surprised how many "high end" fab shops don't consider this

 

Hahahahahaha!

"custom quality crafted design"

 

Something like this is probably what you are looking for


Unfortunately I cannot help you in finding a set like these as they were already on the truck when I bought it.

 

Those look like a set of leaf spring perches welded together

 

Just buy 3 of these. Then you will have one extra rib to make them like the ones above. Done.

 

Cool, I've never actually ever seen external footage of it running. In all the years I had it, I only saw about three 15 second clips of it moving and those were always just hitting a simple jump. This isn't anything that impressive but it's very representative of exactly how I used to run the truck. I rarely actually put it thru hard whoops and big aggressive stuff. The truck was actually overbuilt for a lot of the stuff I enjoyed running with it. It was nice piece of mind though to cover my butt for a mistake on the trail.

Yep exactly like that actually

Think that that will clear the u bolts though?
