A variation of this should work, yeah?
It would need to be wider than 1.5” I’m assuming.. - what are the dimensions of the King lowers?

Would you believe the tank-side one on my truck is tweaked also? Figured that out test fitting the part last night. :/
Oh well, now I prototype on the other side.

On second thought, that one wouldn’t allow you to service the shock. Fail.
It would need to have an open front, which is doable.
This skid is a weld-on to the axle, though - is there actual interest in that?

Maybe
@ rkntoy
will chime in but he has a pretty good idea and design that he tested on the Dusy. He seemed to be very happy with it.
It's not a weld on but uses the factory bolt. Check page 8 of this build thread. That's where we started talking about it.
I think just using the bolt would be plenty sufficient. One way to improve upon his idea is to have a boxed front, angled slightly down. A hole would be drilled in the front of the box to allow the stock bolt to be inserted and tightened. It might put stress on the bolt but I think it would be plenty strong and the user could carry a spare lower shock bolt just in case.

Making sure I completely collapsed the driver side mount before I work on replacing it.

I believe it. Especially looking at the stock replacement. I have a feeling my passenger side one is going to be tweaked too.

I’ve got you.
I should have this one ready to send out for quoting tomorrow (it was a work weekend.)

Do you think I would need to run additional reinforcement up to the frame to prevent what I did to mine? I landed on the link close to the mount with a bit of lateral force.

I doubt it; these are 3/16 plate, & welded along the edges. You'd have to twist the ears length-wise against the spine of the ramp - I don't see it happening.
But I'll take a look at the rear of the mount in the morning - it's entirely possible that an end plate could be included as an additional lateral reinforcement there, certainly worth the look.

Sorry for the delay. Been busy fighting other battles with the rig. lol
The King lower shock mount is 2". That was an eyeball from widest point to widest point. There's really no way to get a straight edge in there but my eyes pretty good.

Ok big guy, I’ve added a tab on the inner upper wall to address your particular event:
Let me print one and see if it can actually be installed with that tab in place and report back.
(give me a day or so.)
