    Just mounted the front RCI Skid Plate and it was a very easy install, maybe 30 minutes. When money allows I will do the trans plate also. The skid was $305.00 delivered, I couldn't pass up a good sale like that.

    Looks great! You should add "Review" to the end of your title to make it a bit more descriptive for future potential buyers.

    I just ordered the front one and am super excited! Are the A-arm skids worth it in your opinion?

    Nice! RCI makes solid skids! I did their full steel set on my 2015.

    @zippsub9, my brother, I love him!
    Would the steel ones hurt your gas mileage that bad? I know i own a truck and this should not concern me but it is my daily driver with a 100 mile roundtrip commute.
