U-Bolt Protection and Shock Mounts in One Assembly
Bash plates on a leaf spring truck serve two functions: protect the U-bolts and spring perch area from rock strikes, and provide a mounting surface for components that live near the axle. The GIANT MotorSports Explorer Bash Plates with Added Shock Mounts do both — heavy-duty protection for the under-axle hardware, with integrated shock mount locations that are properly gusseted and positioned for bypass shock fitment.
Built for under-axle (spring-under) leaf spring setups where the spring and U-bolts are fully exposed below the axle housing.
Available Sizes
- 2.75\”-3.25\” housing diameter
- 3.0\”-3.5\” housing diameter
- 3.5\”-4.0\” housing diameter
- 4.0\” housing diameter
How to Measure Your Axle Housing Diameter
Measure the outside diameter of the axle tube at the spring perch location — not at the axle end and not at the center section. If you are between sizes, call 714-265-1450 and we will confirm the right fit for your specific axle.
Compatible Applications
Designed for the 91-01 Ford Explorer rear axle in spring-under configurations. Also fits other applications with compatible housing diameters including Dana 44 and Ford 8.8. Call to confirm fit on non-Explorer axles before ordering.
Pairs With
The 91-01 Explorer / Sport Trac Rear Long Travel Kit, Link Killer Shocks by Solid Shock Co., and the Shackles listing. All sold separately.
