KDSS spacers and skid plates

Have you taken it offroad yet to test the clearance of the skid plate?

Also, are you running the stock or an aftermarket skid plate?

 

been on 2 day-long wheeling trips, sway bar clearance is fine on the passenger side of the skid that i cut the notch, no interference there.

however, on the driver's side, the forward bolt head for the piston was contacting the skid plate, and yes i have aftermarket skids, 4xinnovations. what i ended up doing after hours of that bolt knocking into the skid making horrid sounds, was cutting a 2.25" hole on each side of the skid to allow clearance. didn't need to on the passenger side, but for symmetry purposes, this is the route i went.

 

I have a Dobinsons IMS setup 2-2.5ish front lift with Treaty Oak KDSS spacers and just installed an RCI engine skid today (KDSS compatible) and had zero clearance issues. I still need to test offroad but I don’t see any real issues occurring. I’ve been running this setup for over a year now and it’s been solid af.

I did have to trim my stock skid back when the lift was first installed. Just added the RCI skid today, easy peasy.
