    Hey guys. I have a question. My brother and I decided to plan a trip to Rausch Creek in the end of May. I upgraded my suspension, but I don't have any armor. For those who have gone, do I really need an aftermarket skid? Or can I get by on stock? I don't plan on being too harsh on the truck

    I would say run the stock skid, and pick your lines so you don't mangle it. And hey, if you do, it's a good excuse to build a beefier skid plate.

    That being said, I have no idea what Rausch Creek is.

    IDK if you have gone yet or not. I've been there a couple of times and going back in July. I would recommend an aftermarket skid if you can afford one. If you have to run your stock skid just be careful, lots of rocks there
