If you're going to really get out on the trails or off in the desert -- there's nothing that will change the rhythm of your day quite like losing your rear shocks. These shock skid plates are designed to give a smooth ramp up and over obstacles while also protecting your rear shocks. The rear shocks on the Ford Bronco are some of the lowest hanging fruit on the entire vehicle for trail and desert obstacles to catch on -- since they are mounted in front of the axle housing, and hang down lower then anything else on the axle. These not only protect the front of the shock, but fully cover the bottom and wrap up and around at the departure to allow protection if you find yourself backing up and over something that might otherwise find your shocks.
These skid plates are laser cut from 1/4" thick high strength HRPO steel, and CNC formed for a precision fit. Installation does not require removal of the rear shocks and uses existing holes and additional provided hardware to attach. These skid plates are sold as a pair of left and right skids that ship bare metal and will require painting or coating unless ordered otherwise.
These shock skids were designed to work with stock suspension. Will not work with Hoss 3.0 or 4.0 options. Both options will not fit Bronco Raptor.

I just installed these skid plates on my Hoss 3.0. A little tight on installing the top bolt next to the inner wheel if you have larger hands but with some patience, you can still get it. Nice heavy duty steel with good looking welds. I’m very pleased with the outcome.

Welds are good thickness of material is great. I'm happy with the construction.

I emailed the fine folks at NextVenture MotorSports to check if these skids worked with my Eibach 2.0 shocks without loosening them, and I received a response within the afternoon that the set that goes with Hoss 2.0 would work. I ordered the skids that evening and they arrived a few days later. I was blown away by the heft and well-structured skids in the box. These were incredibly easy to install, and add a great layer of protection between the ground and my newly installed shocks. I ordered the bare metal and sprayed them gold. Thank you so much to Tyler and the gang. Y'all are great! A++

Great fit, sturdy install!

Solid construction and easy to install. Should help provide rock protection for the incidental dragging when the rear doesn’t track as planned! Love the look and design!!
Why next venture?
parts inspired by the trail
Our team got into the game after rock crawling, wrenching, fabricating and being inspired to design and build parts for what we love to do: hit the trail.
what our customers are saying
★★★★★They invited me and my whole crew in for a tour of the facility on our way to Moab. These guys not only produce amazing armor for your Jeep, they are really good people. So, I’ve been running their rear diff skid for 9 months and it has easily held up to everything I’ve thrown at it.

★★★★★After this go around with Moab and Holy cross, the diff skids did their job and protected my Jeep. My rear aluminum bumper performed phenomenally on the trail!

★★★★★Can’t say enough about Dan and his ultra skilled team! Dan was able to get us in for a skidplate with UHMW & sliders for our JKUR. The fit, finish and quality are just out of this world! Can you say “stacked dimes”? Absolutely gorgeous welds…

★★★★★2 years later I'm writing this review. I've beaten the crap out of this thing hitting rocks, winching, draging it down obstacles, and now exposed to the Florida elements. The bumper looks like it did the day they sent it. You will not find a better company to work with that cares about their clients and their products!

★★★★★My rear Next Venture diff skid takes a beating! Best rear diff skid available. Well done!
Lee Bower
★★★★★Without a doubt, Next Venture Motorsports is my first stop for epic Jeep parts. Their JL aluminum front and rear featherweight bumpers are solidly built, easy enough to install, and crafted to perfection. I can't wait for more products for my 2 door JL!

★★★★★I like it because it lets you use factory fog lights if you want. They also have a featherweight aluminum option that doesn't have holes for fogs and is essentially a stubby bumper. I am very pleased with all of their stuff. [JL/JT Adventure Series Bumper]
