Default exhaust protection off road

after ripping my exhaust completely off a few weeks ago in some deep snow I thought I might try and find some skids or something but, i haven't had any luck. I have no skid plates right now at all. I would like to get some this summer when I'm making money. the ones I looked at didn't seem like they would cover up the exhaust at all. what to do guys do? Ive got a 3" lift and 31s any advise other than lift it higher? lol

After reversing down a climb I could not break-over at the top, I wrapped my exaust fully around my axle and filled it with so much mud that I had to beat the crap out of my muffler to get air. When I took it to the shop(the only thing I can't do myself is exaust) I made sure I got a smaller muffler that was a heavy gauge steel(flowmaster super10). It's only 8 inches, and steel welded, it's a beast, I also got a smaller less testifying cat that gave me more ground clearance, that could use a plate. I had them route it as close to the body as possible, not caring about heat. And the key thing was that I had them cut it off in the back before the bumper and at an angle so that problem wouldn't happen again.
