Description
Designed for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 2/4 Door Rear D44 Housing. Protect your rear lower control arms with our heavy duty bolt on skid plates. Each skid is fully boxed 3/16th inch steel and hand welded for extreme attention to detail. Our trail tested Grinder skid plates have been used for years in our RECON coilover conversion. They are designed to protect your factory lower control arm mount from absolutely any abuse. These Grinders have been redesigned to be installed on non-coilover Jeeps with any lift height. These DO NOT move your lower shock mount up, allowing absolutely any JK shock (factory or aftermarket) to be installed. You lose absolutely zero travel, meaning your ride quality, articulation, and suspension travel are NOT sacrificed.
Why Not Relocate the Shock Mount Up? Say, 1.5". Consider what moving the shock up does. If installing a shock, but moving one of it's mounting points, your vehicle will undercompress/bottom out that shock and cause it damage plus limit your up travel that new 1.5". That point is made when a rear lower shock relocation kit specifies it may require new shorter rear swaybar links and/or coil spring spacers.
Our Grinders DO NOT. That 1.5" of clearance has now potentially cost you a shock. Instead, leave it in it's OEM location, but add a skid plate like this system.
Do I Need to Order New Shocks? No. Our system does not require special length shocks and is compatible with 100% of aftermarket Jeep JK shocks.
Why Do These Not Come Powdercoated? We ship our Grinders raw for a very specific reason. They are going to get abused! Simply apply your favorite cheap can of rattle paint prior to install, let dry, and install. After each off road trip reapply paint and they will look new again.
What is Installation Like? Simply cut off your OEM sway bar link mount, OEM shock bracket, grind your cuts smooth and bolt our Grinder into place.
What Comes in a Grinder Kit? Each Grinder kit will ship with: 2 lower control arm skids, 2 grade 8 bolts 4 grade 8 washers 2 grade 8 nylock nuts

Warranty Information
Rebel Off Road proudly offers a 5 year warranty on all ROE (Rebel Offroad Engineering) products. Our 5 year warranty covers you against defects in materials used to manufacture your product, workmanship, and broken components deemed to have failed under normal use.
The powder coat/paint finish (Products and Hardware) is covered under a separate 1 year warranty, which applies to the finish in its entirety and cannot be extended beyond this period. Due to varying climates and individual use, we cannot offer a warranty on powder coating beyond this 1 year period. This coverage includes defects in the finish, as well as chipping and scratching under normal use.
Surface rust, pitting, or discoloration resulting from improper maintenance is not covered under this warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner to properly maintain and preserve the finish of their product. In areas where high concentrations of road salts or other corrosive agents are present, damage to the finish may occur if the product is not properly maintained, which may void the finish warranty.
Given the off-road applications of our products, ROE cannot be held liable for rust resulting from wear or damage to the finish experienced during regular use beyond this warranty period.
Additionally, ROE cannot be held financially responsible for any labor associated with installation or removal of your product related to warranty claims.
