    Having a hard time finding pics or evidence on Google Images or in here. Soooo, anyone running aftermarket skid plates with their drop bracket? Most aftermarket skids extend to the second cross member, and that obviously won't work with the new cross members.
    RCI has already told me no, and no plans to fabricate.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    No, but thank you. That's the second cross member back, the belly if you will.
    I'm looking to replace the factory stamped design that leads from the bumper to the first cross member, or the cross member closest to the front of the truck.

    Got it.... I have the Pro Comp DB skids now (10 gauge SS) for the front. I haven't found anyone that makes one off the shelf so I'm having a 1/4 steel replacement made now using the Pro comp version as a template.

    I wish that Pro Comp option didn’t have a huge logo burned into it.
    Ideally what I want is something to cover out past those aweful crash bars on the front end. The BPF option isn’t too bad actually.

    Some from the build process and a couple of it mounted. These were a one off set for his but could be reproduced using his as a template.

    Thanks for the pics. That design won’t work on a drop bracket since the cross members are now much lower. For our needs we’d have to replicate the factory skid plate forward of the front member to the bumper.

    That is a drop bracket. Looks to be a Fabtech.

    Throwing around the idea of replacing my RCD/Bilstein shocks with the BDS/Fox 6" coilover kit. I'm thinking someone got it through Headstrong Offroad, that correct? Just wanted to verify that before I called them.

    How much weight do you have up front?

    Pretty sure the fox coilovers only come with #600Ib coils

    If I were to do it over I'd get stiffer coils from the start like Evenflow (custom) and others

    My front bumper weighs around 185lbs with the winch. Right now I have Eibachs 620lbs coil up front they don't seem bad. Can I order stiffer coil through Fox or are you referring to Kings?
