Construction & Design
Crafted from heavy-duty steel, the DV8 Offroad Rear Shock & Link Skid Plates offer superior strength and impact resistance.

The skid plates are precision-engineered to match the contours of the factory mounting points, ensuring a perfect fit without the need for modifications. Their strategic placement at the lowest point of the rear axle helps the vehicle glide over rocks and rough terrain, reducing the risk of getting hung up or damaged during trail rides.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
