pEach of a pair of skid plate assemblies attaches by a mounting plate to the axle and leaf springs of a trailer using inverted U-bolt. The steel skid plate mounts to the mounting plate by a vertical steel tube and two welded angled brace tubes. The front end of the bottom skid plate hooks around and attaches to a crossbar on a bracket hanging down from a forward end of the trailer spring. The back end of the bottom skid plate is formed with a dove tail tip that touches the pavement to create sparks when the trailer tire is disabled to warn other motorists./p[US2009127839A1]
