P1000 Trail armor full skids with 30" Tires and SATV A arms Update! they fit without trimming.

[codyroach]

Hey guys, I am about to install SATV ATLAS 1.5" forward A arms and 30" xtr370 tires, I already have the trail armor full skid, I am wondering how much trimming if any I will need to do to the skid.

Thanks,

If you put in steering stops you should be good to go, if not you’ll only hear it at full lock. That’s assuming you’re installing wheel spacers.

If you put in steering stops

I didn't because I didn't have the boot bands to put back on after cutting them off. Meh.

Running 30" XTR370, on Black Rhino 14x7 5.5+1.5 offset SATV atlas 1.5" forward A arms. I'm not completely done with the install, still have other side to finish. Looks like everything clears. I will have to order a spacer for the rear, probably 1". Also I'm not running the steering stop.

My Trail Armor skids and 30x10x15 Tusk Terrabite Aramids on 15x7 Tusk Uinta beadlocks have no issues coexisting. The tires actually measure right at 29" tall.

You can Zip-tie them back on

I was fine on skid plates and inner fenders but I trimmed at least 3/8" off under the head lights. You may rub wheels on the back side of the a-arms. Careful with the brake line routing if you skip the steering rack stops as they may get pinched at full steering lock.

I smashed both my stainless brake lines on the same ride. Put stock lines back on and rerouted them on the other side of the a-arm. Good to go since.

I have the same set up but with 30 inch blackwaters and they rubbed the inner fender and the skid plate on turns and full compression of the suspension. Had to put a screw in the inner fender and trim that part that turns up on the skid plates. No rubbing after that.

Weird... Only been ass packed by a pioneer on 30s once and it wasn't you

Here's how I rerouted my brake lines. Drilled and tapped a new mounting hole in the arm. I have had zero issues with them like this

Bent tie rods were the death of my brake lines lol.

 

[codyroach]

Yeah, I was wrong I had to install the steering stops. My tie rods were contacting the upper arms and smashing the brake lines. I also went with the RB3 wide track spacers 1" in front 1.5" in back. I may re-route the brake lines and try the newer style 22 up tie rods, then i could probably remove the steering stops.

My update: My 30x10x15 Terrabite Aramid tires DO rub the TA skids when the shocks are compressed. Learned that this weekend in LaFollette. Gotta trim them.
