FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: After a hard hit, how do I know if the skid is actually damaged vs just scratched up?
A: Surface gouges and paint scraping are normal use. Signs that need attention: significant deformation reducing ground clearance, weld cracks, or bent mounting flanges. A shop with a press can often straighten minor bends.

Q: Does this protect the Badlands sway bar disconnect?
A: Yes. It covers the sway bar disconnect area on Badlands and First Edition Broncos. That's one of the main reasons those trim owners add this skid.

Q: My aftermarket bumper already includes a built-in skid. Do I still need this?
A: Bumper-integrated skids typically only cover the area directly below the bumper. This skid extends further back to cover the steering rack and control arm pockets. Use the live chat with your bumper model to see if there's a gap worth filling.

Q: Does adding steel over the factory plastic skid meaningfully reduce ground clearance?
A: The steel unit is slightly thicker than the factory plastic. In practice the difference is minimal.

Q: Does this work with aftermarket suspension lifts?
A: Compatible with most lift kits. Use the live chat with your lift brand and height if you want to confirm before ordering.

Q: Can I install this without a lift or professional help?
A: Yes. Bolt-on install with basic hand tools. No professional installation required.

Q: If the skid gets badly bent on the trail, can a shop straighten it?
A: A shop with a press can straighten moderate bends. Cracked welds or extreme deformation means replacement.

Q: How long does this take to install?
A: About 1 hour.
