I just ordered the rear diff skid. I looking forward to the shock & lower arm skids are available.
I did some re-working on those shock skids and lower arm skids after the initial test fitting. Much happier with the install and fit now. Those are done and in production. should be able to start shipping some of those in the next couple of weeks also

Just wanted to throw out how great Foutz stuff is. And Greg is a great person to deal with.
I met Greg a couple years ago at a raptor meet when I lived in AZ, and have their skid plates on my 2023 F150 Tremor. Super stout products and a great company to work with. You can’t go wrong with their stuff.
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate that very much

I don't think I've seen it mentioned anywhere but is it possible to also install the collars in the rear?
Yes we just had a customer test fit them and they work fine. The 1.5" front collar will give you about 1" of lift in the rear of the truck for example. so the spring ratios are a little different but they work for sure if you need a little lift in the rear suspension.

I finally had time to install the rear diif skid. Easy install and fit great. I'll watch your site daily for the others for availability.

I also might have used the rear diff skid today :)

I have a bar similar to that on a previous truck. I still got it, not sure if I will put it on my Ranger. It was made by Smittybilt Street Light Bar.

Hi @GregFoutz

Any chance you are developing a rear trailing arm ride height sensor cover solution? Don’t really want to buy from Australia, and current domestic option in Florida is not something I will purchase due to materials used and marketing that rubbed me the wrong way.

yes we have one done and just final test fit it on Friday. We did about 4 different versions before I was happy with it. I think the one we came up with has the best overall protection of anything I have seen. It actually replaces the stock mount bracket with a new mount that the sensor bolts into and then protects the rod and sensor all the way through the cycle of travel so even at full droop everything is protected from flying rocks from the front wheels etc.

here is a screen shot of it from my design work. Now that we confirmed fit I will get costing figured out and we can be shipping them within a couple of weeks.

Let me know what you think.

Looking good and happy to hear your solution is close to completion. I’ll be watching for availability.

Any concerns the sensor harness connection point isn’t covered? With that coverage profile in your design the gravel etc. being flung towards the sensor should be protected so probably isn’t an issue.

the wire connector is protected in this version. we added a small hole at the top for the wire to pass through thats not in the screen shots.
