    Yeah, no need for the mall and your driveway...

    i love how guys talk shit about a 3rd gen, and then when asked to head out to a trail, no ones home... come on guys, if you’re so much more smart and built your rig better let’s seriously head out to some trails so I can embarrass you.

    The one I have I believe is Total Chaos, mine was like $20. But it didn't have spacers or whatever for the skid plates. All I did was use some scrap square tube and welded 1" sections to the skid plate, seen here (I've since fabricated my own skid plate from scratch)

    Here's one with the spacers:
    They are literally just 1" spacers and longer bolts. They take like 20 minutes to install, and while they don't move your CV angles back to "stock" they definitely help. If you're over 3" you should move to a drop bracket kit anyway.
