I have 4" lift in the front and a stock front skid I pulled from the jy awhile back. Is this even useful at this height? If not, who wants to buy it?

there's always a use for a skid, id throw it on there. unless you can find someone who wants to buy it for a good price. its better to have it and not need it, than to need it an not have it. holes in your oil pan can slightly ruin your day...just a little.

I've avoided destroying my drag link several times because of my skid.

Doesn't seem like it really protects much at that height and I'm afraid I'll just get it hung up on a rock or something.

Also forgot to add that I upgraded my steering to a much beefier '98 ZJ drag and tie rod. You think it's still worth the bother?

Repeat... Its always worth having, if its just a mall crawler then its not needed, but if it sees any rocks at all, then you get the idea. The V8 TREs are an upgrade, but they are not indestructible. JMO.
