Well Skid Row Automotive has a great solution to protecting your control arm mounts. The last thing you'd want to happen in the woods is for the welds holding the mount on to break because you've beat on them one too many times. There are some weld on options on the market but for most without access to a welder this is a perfect option. Plus the install is so easy and straight forward it should take you no more than an hour to install. There are very few parts in this kit.
Installation is pretty straight forward.
You'll need to remove the nut from your lower control arm mount as the skidplate uses this as it's rear connection point. Then slide the U-bolts around the axle tube on either side of the spring mount. Getting the U-bolts through the plate is a little tricky. You actually might have to bend the U-bolt slightly to get it to fit into the hole. This is so the U-bolts are very tightly wrapped around the axle tube to keep them from moving or rattling.
