Front LCA Skids for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 (Pair)

The Jeep Wrangler JK's front lower control arm brackets hang at the lowest, most forward point of the axle, and they catch everything the tires miss. Artec Industries' Front LCA Skids box those factory brackets in 1/4" steel, adding structure to the mount and a smooth wrap that lets it slide over rock instead of snagging. They protect the arm joint too — factory bushing or aftermarket flex and Johnny-style joints alike — and fit both Dana 30 and Dana 44 front axles under 2007-2018 JK and JKU models.

Features

• 1/4" steel, CNC cut and formed to wrap the factory bracket
• Boxes in a thin, impact-prone factory mount without replacing it
• Shields OEM bushings and aftermarket flex or Johnny-style joints from direct hits
• Corners angled toward the outside of the vehicle to deflect obstacles
• Side-specific driver and passenger pieces, sold as a pair
• Weld-on for a permanent, structural result

Installation is weld-on, so the skids become part of the bracket rather than a bolt-on layer — have them burned in by someone comfortable welding on an axle, then paint the bare steel. If your factory brackets are already bent, replace them outright with the JK Front Lower Control Arm Brackets; at the other end of the Jeep, the JK Rear LCA Brackets with Skids do the same job.
