Clayton Off Road Rear Lower Control Arm Bracket Skid Plates for 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator JT

Is This for You?

• You're wheeling your JT on rocky terrain and the OEM rear lower control arm brackets are exposed to rock strikes and trail debris that can bend, crack, or damage the factory brackets — these bolt-on skid plates wrap around the OEM rear lower control arm brackets, creating a 1/4" steel barrier between the factory brackets and trail obstacles. No cutting or welding required. Installs around the OEM brackets without affecting the control arm bushings.
• You want skid plates with a built-in clearance gap that allows full articulation of the rear lower control arms without binding or contact — the skid plates are CNC-formed with a built-in clearance gap that allows the rear lower control arms to articulate through their full range of motion without the skid plates contacting or binding the arms or bushings at any suspension travel position.
• You want a bolt-on matte black powder-coated skid plate set with all hardware included — made in the USA — includes both 5/8" and 3/8" hardware for secure installation. Powder coated in matte black for corrosion resistance. No cutting or welding required. Made in the USA.

The COR-4110010 is Clayton Off Road's rear lower control arm bracket skid plates for the 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT. The OEM rear lower control arm brackets on the JT are exposed to rock strikes and trail debris during off-road use — a direct hit to the factory bracket can bend or crack the bracket, compromising rear suspension geometry and requiring costly repair. These skid plates are CNC-formed from 1/4" steel and bolt around the OEM rear lower control arm brackets, creating a protective barrier without requiring any cutting or welding. The skid plates are designed with a built-in clearance gap that allows the rear lower control arms to articulate through their full range of motion without the skid plates contacting or binding the arms or bushings. Installation uses the existing bracket bolt locations with the included 5/8" and 3/8" hardware. Powder coated in matte black for corrosion resistance. Made in the USA.

Installation & Fabrication Notes

• No cutting or welding required — 100% bolt-on installation.
• Install the skid plates around the OEM rear lower control arm brackets using the included 5/8" and 3/8" hardware per Clayton's installation instructions.
• Verify the built-in clearance gap is correctly positioned to allow full control arm articulation without contact before torquing hardware.
• Torque all hardware to specification.
• Verify full suspension articulation after installation — confirm no contact between the skid plates and the control arms or bushings at full droop and full compression.

Wheel & Tire Fitment

Compatible with standard JT wheel and tire combinations. These skid plates protect the rear lower control arm brackets and do not affect wheel or tire fitment directly.

Engineering Question: Confirm your vehicle is a 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT. After installation, verify full suspension articulation — confirm no contact between the skid plates and the rear lower control arms or bushings at full droop and full compression before trail use.
