Does anyone have front shock mount skids on the lower mount? Does a company make them for the JT? Do we need them??
I have the RH set on front and rear LCA’s and rear shocks but nothing on the front. Am I missing something??

So far, I do not think they are needed, they are pretty high up and the Rock Hard front control arm skids are low enough to handle any sliding. Most hits have been on the rear control arm skids on the frame, diff skids, and a few on the rear shock skids when you slide off a rock. I have also bent one of my rear end links sliding off a rock. I did hit my exhaust loop skid already, so, this one seems like a good investment. Here are some pics:

This is correct. Front shock skids are totally unnecessary.

I only have the rear control arm and shock skid from Rock hard 4x4. I don't have front.
