Reply to a private message - I dont think i will ever run long arms on this jeep due to the drop brackets and the ironman's hardcore adjustable control arms work with out a hitch.

But if you hit a big obstruction, it will push you offline.
Being online is the difference between making it and not.
And possibly wedge in the V.
I guess you are porked either way ! LOL

I couldn't see Going threw all the work to make a skid, & not clocking the case while you're at it... looks like a tough skid, just coulda saved you some clearance. Beats buying some bolt on junk either way!

I got a little over a inch of ground clearance with this skid. I also have limited time to get this jeep done before winter gets her. The main reason i am working so hard to get this jeep done. Is because i gave my mother my DD 5.2L zj when her SUV died and plus its getting very cold. It was my extra 4x4 now its a main my main one since the women works now.
