Summary

AI-generated · Jun 24, 2026

Front leveling spacers and skid-plate kits are being sought from vendors capable of supplying vehicle-specific packages for UNICOR’s law-enforcement vehicle fleet. The front leveling kits are designed to raise the front ride height to be more level with the rear and must bolt to the factory strut assemblies using both the existing hardware and the hardware provided in the kit. Packages are vehicle/year specific and must be verified for compatibility before procurement; installations must include complete installation instructions and all mounting hardware. Sample kits cover 2026 model-year Ford Expeditions, Ford F-150s, Chevy Tahoe 4WD, and Silverado 1500 4WD configurations, and describe components such as 6061 aluminum spacers, A-36 steel reinforcement plates, various Grade 10.9 fasteners, and associated washers, with mandatory documentation and compatibility verification. Skid-plate assemblies for the same vehicle families are included, featuring multi-plate crossmembers, break-away hardware concepts, and front, transmission, transfer case, axle, and other skid-plate components as specified, all to be tested for fitment on the target vehicles.

This is a market-research request to determine industry capability to supply these items and related services; responses should convey capability to provide the specified kits, including installation instructions and complete mounting hardware, and indicate compatibility verification approach, potential lead times, and any relevant certifications or past performance. No commitment or preference is implied by this RFI, and it serves to inform planning for a possible future procurement.
