Rear Axle LCA Bolt-On Skids for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+
The rear lower control arm and shock brackets on a Jeep Wrangler JL hang below the axle tube and get hammered flat on rocky trails. These Artec bolt-on skids cap the factory brackets with 3/16" boxed steel plate, adding impact resistance and reinforcement without any cutting, trimming, or welding — they slip over the OEM brackets and reuse the factory hardware. For JL and JLU owners who wheel hard but want to keep the install simple, this is the fastest way to stop worrying about a crushed bracket.
Features
- 3/16" boxed steel plate armors the rear LCA and shock brackets
- Fits over the OEM bracket with no trimming — a true direct bolt-on
- Reuses factory hardware, so there are no fasteners to source
- CNC laser cut and CNC bent, engineered from 3D scan files of the Jeep
- Lightly textured black two-stage powder coat resists corrosion
- Sold as a pair covering driver and passenger sides
- Fabricated in the USA
Fits all 4x4 Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU models from 2018 up. If you want heavier protection that ties directly to the axle, look at the weld-style JL Rear LCA Skids in 1/4" plate, and cover the front brackets with the JL Front LCA Skids. See the rest of our skid plates for full undercarriage coverage.

Rear Axle LCA Bolt-On Skids for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+ FAQs
Do I need to weld or trim anything to install these?
No. The skids fit over the OEM lower control arm brackets with no trimming and bolt on using the factory hardware. It is a straightforward driveway install with basic hand tools.
What exactly do these skids protect?
They wrap the rear axle lower control arm brackets and the shock brackets in 3/16" boxed steel, reinforcing the factory stampings and taking the impact when the axle drops onto a rock. Sold as a pair, they cover both the driver and passenger sides.
How are these different from the JL Rear LCA Skids?
These bolt over the OEM bracket in 3/16" steel using factory hardware — no welding, powder coated and ready to run. The JL Rear LCA Skids are a heavier 1/4" wrap-around reinforcement that ties to the axle itself. Pick the bolt-ons for easy install, the wrap-arounds for maximum reinforcement.
