I have the LR ones (I believe they are Southdown) but they seem to hang down pretty low and do get caught up on steep approach angles. The nice thing is they kind-of protect the front diff by creating an angle that any rocks would first hit the steering skid plate and hopefully slide under the front diff.   marc olivares (Pugs) Senior Member Username: Pugs Post Number: 410 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2004 - 01:57 pm:    keep your skid plate and get a bigger lift and tires. marc   Jamil Abbasy (Jamooche) Senior Member Username: Jamooche Post Number: 431 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2004 - 06:04 pm:    Do those LR steering skids fit with an RTE slimline with the RTE skid plate? I'm tired of bending my steering rods. Or would that just defeat the approach angle of the RTE?   chuck yarbrough (Cptyarderho) Member Username: Cptyarderho Post Number: 47 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2004 - 06:37 pm:    keep your skid plate and get a bigger lift and tires. marc well said, problem solved!!!
