    I have the TRD engine skid and all RCI skids on the rest of the truck. spacers go between the frame and the skid.

    My issue with the way the spacers end up working out is that it spaces out the skid plate at the jack point.

    It would be nice to have another spacer to reinforce that point, as I don’t like the slight bend it does when jacking from there.

    The TRD skid plate is aluminum, so it would make a lot of sense for you to get the RCI plate(s) in aluminum, too. Adds almost no weight. I've got RCI aluminum front and mid skids on my truck and its weight that's worth it. I do light offroad and occasionally scrape on shit I thought I could clear. Aluminum is great for that.

    tl;dr get the aluminum RCI skids and the weight is negligible. Especially since you've already gone down the aluminum path. You're not rock-crawling so it's fine.
