    The lower control arm skids are made by Total Chaos. I highly recommend them if you're doing anything at speed. I've since revamped my entire suspension a couple of times and sold those but they definitely served their purpose. Cheap insurance and they bolt right up.

    I never discuss costs on public forums and only rarely discuss them in PM. You'll have to call Bud for pricing. Great guy and you'll be talking to the owner.

    If you were to get the Toyota front TRD skid place, and you didn't have it, would you have to buy other hardware/parts to install it?

    No worries. I get asked about costs rather often and have become a master at the bob, weave, and deflect. :cool:
