    I think those and sliders should be some of my requirements before I do any stunts again.

    And I'm really really contemplating on the relentless rear bumper instead of fixing the hitch lights up on the stocker.

    Dang, that thing looks pretty convenient. Got something too tall you just fold it back down. I like it.


    Wouldn't that thing flop in the wind though?

    If you do the bumpers, skids, and sliders you will also need to upgrade the suspension. Plate bumpers are heavy.

    Im gonna measure when I take the bumpers off for the new frame but just visually as far as I can tell my bumpers didn't really effect it much... we'll see

    I believe the bumpers hes talking about are all plate and will out weigh ours by abit. Put that with skids, sliders, and a rear plate bumper.

    I usually dont run all my allpro skids because I can tell a difference. I usually just run the front section.

    You would just need to trim a little bit to get them to fit on yours haha

    Arb front and bud built skids. Rear would be changed last. Skids are priority. Bumpers last.

    So my previous blacksmith boss probably still has the tank armor plating sitting around... what do you think is that a little excessive for a skid plate?
