Rear Spring Off Road Protection
My '07 finally needs the rear springs replaced and I think in conjunction with that I'll install what EPC calls "Cover Plate Off Road Rear."

I'd be interested in any comments on these.

Very cool. My only concern is they would find a way to rattle.

Do they go on the bottom with the shield pointed inboard?

Orientation needed to insert proper comment.

I guess it wouldn't matter how well you protected your air bags if you didn't up-armor the air reservoir perched precariously at the back end.
