Question, when I install and weld in my CONTROL ARM SKID PLATES do I need to remove the Control Arms/unbolt and hang down. Or can I weld in place. Wasn't sure if the bushing may get to hot? :thinking:
Anyone done these and have any suggestions.:idontknow:

While it may not be necessary, if it were me, I'd pull your control arms.

Unbolted the control arms when I did mine. Better safe than sorry :yup:

I have the fronts that are weld on and was going to get rears, I found some bolt on's what do you all think are these any good or should I get the weld on ones?:idontknow:

Bolt on's as in EVO rockstar skids? Yes those are good. They can be weld on or bolt on.

you can get the bolt ons and if you dont like the strength then im sure you could have them welded on after

edit- evo rock stars are bolt on and strong enough as overlander mentioned
