    BAMF, Pelfreybilt, AllPro, or Relentless. Steel would be best. A lot stronger.

    Aluminum would be less weight than steel. I just put skids (front, transmission and tcase). Also aluminum may cost less to ship so it would be a wash paying more up front. Local shop is working on fuel tank skid.

    Check any metal fabrication shop around you...that may save you on shipping.

    Check out @RelentlessFab they have full skids available for the 2016s. I got their 1/4in aluminum IFS skid and will be getting the mid/t-case skid later this month.
