    Wondering what the most important skids to buy are. I have the factory skids. I know it's not much. But something. Should I buy the a arm or rear diff skids I see online. Should I get gas tank skids first. What do I prioritize

    I would buy an IFS skid most of your breakables are up front . Your factory "1 time use" skids arent gonna cut it for much more than 1 trip. Other than that I would work front to back minus the LCA's (LCA's are pretty beefy as it is ) so IMO it would be a full 3 piece skid plate set then a gas tank one. Don't dick with aluminum btw go full on steel atleast 3/16. However just depends on your use of the truck.

    Sweet thanks. Mostly desert trails. No bouldering or crawling. Just the occasional big rocks in the trail I gotta go over. Haven't hit the factory skids yet. They hold up against the rocks flying up from the trails so far. But I thank you for the advice.
