    Fab your own. Really not that big of a project and the aftermarket options for 1st gens are not that great IMO.

    I'm way late (as usual) but why can't you get your shifters to line up? I left my front case straight up but I clocked my rear without any issues. (that's where you gain your clearance anyway) The ends of the turnbuckles have spherical bushings so I didn't run into any binding issues... If you haven't installed everything yet, give it a test fit! I bet you can get it to work without too much trouble. If you have any questions, tag me or post up on my build and I'll try to get you answers quickly.

    (Thanks for the tags @Blackdawg @bayareataco)

    Not a big project if you have the equipment to fab your own but I don't.
    I see you went with All-Pro?
    Any one know of any other skids?

    Bud built rear, skid row front and fab your own trans is the best combo I think I can think of so far.

    For the price of a full set of skids you could get a good grinder and craigslist special welder. My mid skid is all my fab work, and my front all pro needs replacement.

    A lot of people go with bud built or skidrow. I think relentless is doing skids for our trucks now though.

    Coverage-wise I prefer Bud Built over Skid Row and Relentless. This is purely off of pictures though, not real world strength.

    Skid Row doesn't extend pass the transfer case, whereas Bud Built gas all the way to the gas tank.

    Relentless has that hump that I would be worried about getting hung up on.

    Was it advertised on CL for the Taco or another truck? I've been searching daily for one, just wondering how it slipped out of my hands. SCORE
