Why you want to kill your ground clearance.
Pick the right line and you will be fine.

Pinion skids are awesome. The full glider plates like pictured are a little silly though.

Sometimes the best line still puts your yoke in danger.

Unfortunately with an 8.8 there isnt much to mount a pinion skid to. i have seen some home fabricated designs using u bolts, and clamping down on the round part of the differential housing.

I have also heard that the size of the flange on the 8.8 helps keep the end of the driveshaft off of the rocks a bit as it hangs down further.
