Protecting rear shocks

[JohnyPython]

Here is what I've done for now. Soft rubber about 3/16" thick wrapping 3/4 of the shock diameter, hanging below static height of the bottom of the shock by 2-3", and held on by two stainless hose clamps. I think I still need mid flaps to protect the leafs, axle, and upper shock body. But this should work for the interim until I can get something made to solidly bolt to the frame.View attachment 152078

Good idea!!

i installed mid flaps and still my original idea got beat up a bit. Without mid flaps the whole rear end of the truck just gets thrashed with sprayed rocks. This is particularly bad if going uphill in 4wd at speed. The mid flaps I made by attaching to the rear mount for the running boards.
