The factory lower shock mounts on the 5th Gen 4Runner hang notoriously low, making them immediate targets for rock strikes when navigating technical trails. Additionally, your shock shafts are in the direct firing line of rocks, mud, and road debris kicked up by your front tires, which inevitably leads to pitting, rust, and eventually, blown shock seals. The O2 Fabrication Rear Shock Skids solve both issues. Built in-house from 3/16” plasma-cut steel, these heavy-duty skids tie directly into the shock mounting bolts to absorb severe impacts while acting as a physical shield for your expensive dampers.

Key Features

• Maximum Impact Protection: Constructed from substantial 3/16" plasma-cut steel, these skids are designed to be dragged across rocks and take the brunt of trail abuse so your lower shock mounts don't have to.
• Built-In Shaft Guards: Deflects the constant sandblasting from your front tires. By protecting the shock shaft from pitting and corrosion, you significantly extend the life of your shock seals and avoid premature rebuilds.
• Rigid Mounting Design: Engineered to tie directly into the factory shock mounting bolts, creating a structurally sound, reinforced barrier at the lowest point of your rear suspension.

Pro Tip: Upgrading your suspension with thicker aftermarket lower trailing arms can sometimes create tight clearances at the axle. Always cycle your suspension and check for contact between your lower links and the shock guard. You must maintain at least 0.5” of clearance. If things get too close, the 3/16" steel guard is easy to trim with a grinder to dial in the perfect fit.
