Hey everyone,

We've got another Ranger Raptor product that we're excited to finally release.

One area we noticed didn't have much protection from the factory is the lower trailing arm mounts. They're one of those components that can take a beating when you're crawling over rocks or dropping into ruts, and once they get hung up, it doesn't take much to do some expensive damage.

To help with that, we've developed the IAG Trail Shield™ Lower Trailing Arm Mount Skid Plate Set.

1785501723198-0u.webp


Designed to Slide, Not Snag
Rather than leaving the trailing arm mounts exposed, these skids create a smooth surface that helps the truck slide over rocks and other trail obstacles instead of hanging up on them.

They're built from 3/16-inch steel and use recessed hardware, so the bolt heads sit below the face of the skid plate instead of becoming the first thing to contact an obstacle.

The result is a cleaner surface that's less likely to catch on rocks while also protecting the factory trailing arm mounts from impacts.

Built to Work with the Rest of the Trail Shield Line
These skids can be run on their own or paired with the rest of our Trail Shield products for more complete underbody protection.

If you're already adding skids to your Ranger Raptor, these are an easy way to cover another vulnerable area.


Straightforward Installation
Installation is pretty simple and doesn't require removing any high-torque suspension hardware.

  • Bolts to existing factory mounting locations
  • No drilling or cutting
  • No suspension disassembly
  • Installs in under an hour with basic hand tools



Built in the USA
Like the rest of our fabricated Trail Shield products, these are built at our facility in Westminster, Maryland.

Features include:

  • Heavy-duty 3/16" steel construction
  • Durable black powder-coated finish
  • Recessed hardware for a smooth sliding surface
  • Sold as a complete left and right pair with all required hardware

Lifetime Warranty
We back the Trail Shield™ Lower Trailing Arm Mount Skid Plates with a Limited Lifetime Structural Warranty for the original purchaser (powder coat excluded).

We're always looking for areas on the Ranger Raptor that could use a little extra protection, and the lower trailing arm mounts stood out as a spot that deserved some attention. Whether you're wheeling every weekend or just exploring the occasional forest road, these skids add another layer of insurance against trail damage.

If you've got any questions about fitment, installation, or how these work with our other Trail Shield products, let us know. We're always happy to answer questions or post additional photos if there's something you'd like to see.

Nice. How soon before your skid plates come out?

Actually picked these up as soon as I saw this since it is an area I’ve taken some hits in rocky terrain… very happy upon opening them, less happy when I saw they wouldn’t fit with my RCI mounted sliders! Should noticed ahead of time…

They’ll need some real cutting if I choose to keep them. The fit and everything (if stock) and install seemed easy. But my sliders cover too much of the frame right there.

Crap. I got mine yesterday and had planned on ordering the RCI sliders. Now I have a decision to make as well.

Do you think the slider arms could sit on top of the skids? How far back would IAG need to shift the ramp in order to clear?

It’s not the shape of the skids themselves, it’s that if you look at these skids they wrap around the entire box of the frame, and the problem is that right there is also where the sliders mount and also wrap around the frame. The RCI sliders are incredibly stout and line up perfect. The IAG skids are thick. I just don’t see how the slider could work going over it and still line up all the 7474828 holes for the rest of the install haha.

The first photo is passenger side. You can see the skid is almost in place but needs to move up onto the frame completely and is blocked by the sliders.

The second picture is the driver side, similar situation, but a little worse. Likely too much for me to want to cut.

Looks possible, but probably not something we would produce unless the the commitment was 25 or more vehicles. Plus we would need a test vehicle in the Maryland area. We would possibly update the design if we find the demand for this product is high. Unfortunately, we don't have enough sales data for the Ranger Raptor parts as yet to determine if this makes sense for our business model. I doesn't help that we were a little late to the market.

It looks ike the skids could be modified to fit if you wanted o invest the time into cutting and refinishing them, witout comprimising too much of the strength.
