FX4 Level II Superlift question
Getting ready to do my lift just waiting on the kit to get here, Now I am checking things out to see what other mods I am going to have to make, Has anyone who has done the lift on a FX 4 level II modified there front stock skid plate so the it will work with the superlift
and if so do you have any pictures you can post please I think it can be done by stretching out the top of the factory plate just not sure how it will attach at lower cross member after the raise if anyone has done this can you give me some ideas not that my own wont work but yours might be easier and or better than mine thanks

The stock skid will work for the superlift if I recall. Where it mounts, is still fully exposed and away from the LCA drops. I know I've seen a few SL'd trucks with the stock skid still there.
Or...do what I'm gonna do....full custom that'll wrap under the SL crossmembers. The superlift skid is stupid, dumb, ugly, and way overpriced.
Here's a pic of the superlift setup down below.

Truck pictured is an old member's truck, not who posted the pic. It was Superlift + bodylift on 15x10 wheels and 35x12.50 tires.
With the setup you want to run, you'll be perfectly fine with 33's. TONS run that exact setup.

Since the frame/suspension cross members are static, I would think a piece of Aluminum Diamond Plate 1/8 or 3/16" will do, cut it to fit allow for mounting tabs; mounted on a framework made out of either angle stock or square tubing.
The alum will allow the skip to slide if it makes contact with a rock or other piece of nature, the framework will give it the strength.
I agree about the SL Skid, over priced for what you get, NWI.
