What do you use for under the front end?
Other than an expensive skidplate have any of found anything to help the bottoming out issue? I found these SLiPLO products, and have been amazed at how easy they were to install, excellent price, and now I can go in and out of my driveway without tearing up the underside! https://sliplo.com/191.html

I've often wondered, since I first scraped my RT, why people just don't seem to watch where the heck they're going?

Spring stiffeners
I like the 3/8" thick, superior coverage, and yes, expensive bumpskid under the wimpy thin plastic under my Spyder. I also have spring stiffeners ( 2 per spring ) that did raise the about 1/2". I have seen a couple of gouges in the thick protective bumpskid and I am glad it's there.

Hoping to see more people that have actually used the SLiPLO bumpskids comment on how they have worked for them.

I got stiffer springs for my elka shocks. problem solved. Although I do recommend a skid plate. Those Slipos dont do much.

If you have problems bottoming out and have elka shocks, they will send you stiffer springs free of charge.

Nothing. However, the Fox Shox are certainly firmer, and I take efforts to enter possible areas that can scrape at angle.

Dave, I bought the aluminum skid plates from Rivco that are supposed to attach to those bumpers. I didn't read the fine print that says the plates ONLY attach to parts that come with the bumper. Color me PISSED, but my fault for buying excited. However, I did figure out a way to get them mounted. The plates work wonderfully. And to anyone that is considering buying the plates, read the installation instructions for the bumper and you'll see what part you'll need to fabricate. Or PM to me.

If you get your Spyder returned to the original ride height (where it sits before loading it up). You will reduce or eliminate your ground strikes. The key is to recover that lost 2 inches or more of ground clearance. This also has the benefits of maintaining your aliment and giving you more control and better handling. It is a shame that BRP no longer mounts adjustable shock springs on current Spyder models.
Only SLOW people have to leave on time...

Got a bump skid plate under there, but mostly got dried possum guts and a layer of armadillo parts under there.

Yeah, I had to upgrade my front shocks anyway, and haven’t bottomed out since the heavy duty Wilbers were installed.

The bumpskid will spread the shock of the hit across the full bottom of the frunk whereas the sliplo would let the force transfer to the area just above where it sits.I think the skid could take a much bigger whack without causing damage.
