    I have the C4 rear skid and it’s beefy.

    Looks good.

    How did the install go? And out of curiosity - do you think it cost you much ground clearance - 1/2 inch or so?

    Install was simple. I did it on my own. Maybe 3/8-1/2” loss not too bad. Worth the extra protection.

    Ordered, and although likely unnecessary, added the E-locker guard too.

    @captrussia253 thanks again for your input.

    Haven't done the rear diff yet, but really like my RCI skid.

    Here’s another shot that shows the skid and it doesn’t sit too low.

    Can live with that, and it'll make me appreciate the extra clearance when I switch to 285's.

    You’ll love the 285s. My GX is almost paid off and once it is it’s time to cut more things off and throw 35s on it haha
