Hi all, I have a 2 Door Black Diamond Sasquatch. I am doing some off-roading and have made some use of my skid plates, but also made use of some dings in rear lower shock bracket and trailing arm bracket. I have been looking for a solution for this as well as a manual sway bar disconnect. I came across a site a while back on G6, but my anti-virus protection says it is a scam. Wondering if anyone has experience with ac-fabb.com. I saw a youtube and the person/product appears legit. Also I am considering BroncBuster's tie rod brace, but curious if anyone has found an upgraded tie rod that isn't significantly more expensive than the brace. Or is the brace the best deal/value?

I am in Wisconsin so not like I am hitting Moab style off-roading, but nonetheless there are some pretty decent man made rock crawls I've been on and that is where I am getting some skid plate use. Appreciate any thoughts.

Phil

These guys (and Asfir) have a few extra skid protect items.

If running stock tires your tie rods should be fine. But if you want extra security broncbust or febtech have decent options. If you go the broncobuster route, go all in with steering rack and bell housing upgrades too (3 part kit/stage 3 kit). We almost went the broncbuster route but decided its not necessary at this time for us bc our rig is primarily an onroad product demo vehicle for our customers (dealerships and retail).

Also if you upgrade your coilovers and go with broncbuster make sure you let them know upfront. This way they can make adjustments to the brace so it fits properly.

Hoss 3 tie rods are heavier and fit. There are also cheaper tie rod “sleeves“ out there. Acfabb seems to be legit but expensive and only game in town as far as I know...
