P&P Engineering Shock Skids

With previous trucks, I had some shock damage caused with moderate off-roading, including denting a shock body when engaged in some recreational mudding on private property (with permission). When I saw the P&P Engineering shock skids, I was pretty stoked. Having a great experience with my P&P Engineering Sliders, I knew their products were beefy, and as always, Mac was great to work with.

The skids bolt to the shock mount, opposite the shock. They also bolt to the lower shock bolt itself (and P&P includes all hardware necessary for the install). Installation took all of 10 minutes, with most of the time being maneuvering the shock into place. I jacked up the truck by the receiver hitch, to extend the rear suspension and make this a bit easier.

The profile of the skid makes it easy for them to function well and slide over obstacles.

And they tuck out of the way as close to the rim/tire as possible:

They came nicely powdercoated, and I'm sure they'll do a great job!

Those are sweet ! Nice tires btw I have had my bfgs for about 2 yrs now .

 

Thanks for posting this. I've been wondering about shock skids for a while now. Do they have holes on the bottom to let water/mud drain out?

 

Yes, they do! I was very impressed with the design; they're shaped to give as much clearance as possible while still protecting the lower shock. They do have drainage holes, and if they loaded with mud, they're easy enough to get into to clean.
