LCA skid plates-are they worth it?

While I am not a dedicated rock crawler I have hit an occasional rock. I was looking at the RCI and the Artec aluminum lca skids to give me some protection and minimize the additional unsprung weight. I would first need to ensure that they would be compatible with my Mobtown skids. If someone can tell me if they would be compatible and offer any helpful opinions I would be appreciative. Thanks.

 

I'm looking at installing the Artec LCA skids onto my truck with M.O.R.E. off-road aluminum skid package. I emailed the Owner of M.O.R.E., and he says, "I do not see why the ones you're looking at wouldn't work". But, after looking at the instructions, I won't know for sure until I dive into it. Either the front skid, or the LCA skid may need some trimming. The Mobtown looks like it's set-back more, and doesn't cover the Cam Tab bolt as much...

Edit: the Artec ones didn't work, but MORE made custom LCA skids to work with the package

 

Ive noticed some dents in my lcas, if i was going to put skids on them id go steel if you can find it.

 

I don't think they are. LCAs are beefy as it is, dinging them up on occasion isn't going to hurt them. LCA skids just reduce your clearance there even more.
