I made this skidplate out of 1/8" steel. The oil filter just hung down with nothing to protect it after I put the body lift on.I made these shackles out of 1/2" steel to solve the leveling problem I had. It brought the rearend up right where it needed to be. Pose for the camera. A little action shot, not much though. I keep forgetting to take the camera with me.Take a look at my other page.
