[QUOTE="Ryan C, post: 1534410, member: 37209"] Hi everyone, I'm looking for some ideas to help protect the rear shocks on my 2019. I recently purchased some Factory Race 3.0 Live Valves that I have installed, and they are taking a beating. The fox supplied upper zap strap is gone and the lower boot zap strap also got destroyed after just one offload session. To give a sense of the type of damage that can happen, I've included a photo of the stock rock guard from the stock shocks that I removed, after 14,000km. I am aware of the swarfworks lower shock mount protector, but that will obviously only protect the very lowest part of the shock and mounting area. I have seen rubber flaps in use mid way along the chassis (e.g. see this 4wd trophy truck here [URL='https://racer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/85/2019/11/jesse-jones-truck-kmc-wheels.jpg']jesse-jones-truck-kmc-wheels.jpg[/URL], and Icon used to sell an option for this. Any ideas on how to buy or fab something like this would be great. preferably something on a quick release so I can take it off when longer periods of just hwy/city driving. I've also thought of using helicopter tape on the shock body, and/or perhaps some rubber added to the shock body that hangs down to add protection and is secured via hose clamps - same for the bottom of the shock area. A concern I have is that it gets shredded and then there is a loose metal clamp banging around and causing significant damage Anyone have any comments on the above, or other ideas? Thanks!
