    so I got my ifs skid, mid skid, transfer case skid, and gas tank skid.

    Now looking at LCA skids

    So BAMF, RCI or the ones from 4xinnovations

    So far I kinda like the counter sunk bolts on the 4xinnov skids

    I like 1/4" thick on the BAMF

    But only the RCI says "no drill" install.

    Anyone got any info to help sway me?

    I have the RCI. There's definitely no drilling. However the bolt closest to the cv boot gets close to making contact with the boot, so I trimmed the bolt almost flush to the nut. There's a polyurethane spacer between the LCA and skid, so you'll lose about 1/2" of ground clearance under the LCA in the area closest to the cam bolts. I'm not familiar with the other LCA skids. I believe depending on which IFS skid you have (if wide in the front) the RCI LCA skid might have interference issues.
