Bronco HOSS 3.0 specific shock skids by Foutz Motorsports

[GregFoutz]

We just finished up our HOSS 3.0 specific rear shock skid kit. We have a batch out of production now and out at powder coat. These were designed to specifically clear the larger HOSS Fox shock and reservoir. Cheap insurance for sure. Hit me up if you want to get some of the first production run.

Just wanted to chime in that I have your non-HOSS rear shock skids and, IMHO, they are the best skids in terms of robustness, coverage, materials used and design.

Where others have the vertical plates take the load against the weld, you have a stout plate take all the abuse without angled or formed side plates wanting to slide off of obstacles.

The down side is that in a few hundred years they will have rusted through. Hopefully the rest of the Bronco lasts that long!

Note for anyone on the fence:

I was able to install these by myself about 3 weeks prior to spinal disc replacement surgery. As long as you're using an adequately robust impact gun, you can remove/reinstall the shock mounting bolt no problem.

• The impact gun I used is a Milwaukee 1/2" drive mid-torque M18 fuel with 5.0 MaH battery (2962-20) for reference. Had no problems with the bolt.

@GregFoutz I am installing the fox 3in race series coilovers. Which shock skid would you reccommend, standard or the HOSS 3.0 version? Can I stop by the shopt to purchase these to avoid lead time in shipping?

Either one should work with the Fox aftermarket shock. Both have room for the reservoir toward the bottom and the upgraded Fox shock is a remote resi so it doesnt take up that space on the lower side. The HOSS guard is a little bigger and the safe bet to make sure you have clearance for the lower coil spring retainer. I have never test fit that combo at our shop so I would love to hear how it looks when you get it on.

@GregFoutz Thank you.

Should these work with other aftermarket coilovers? King, Icon etc? These 3.0 give more space under the bottom of the shock compared to the standard Shock skids correct? Thanks for all your help… Love all your products

I would think so. here are a few screen shots to help That is the HOSS version which is bigger and allows more room toward the front.

From the bottom of the shock mount to the top of the bottom guard plate there is over 5/8" room so I think they should all fit with no problem.

Does that help?
